Albuqurque Journal November 13, 1967
A flat tire and some sort of quarrel ended in the death of a 27 year old 
Albuquerque man Sunday night, police said. Dead of a bullet wound between the 
shoulder blades and a bullet through the arm is Joseph Milcher, 27, of 3613 
Lombardy NW. Booked into city jail on suspicion of murder is Charles L. 
Sedillo, 21, 2016 William SW, who was arrested at the scene, police said. A 
third man, Burton A. Turner, 23, who reportedly is staying at 3613 Lombardy 
NW, was booked on suspcion of drunkenness, and is being held as a material 
witness. The three apparently were riding in a car driven by Turner when they 
had a flat tire in front of Sedillo's residence, investigating officers said. 
Turner reportedly began changing the tire, while Milcher and Sedillo walked 
around the vicenity. The victim reportedly had the gun stuck in his belt at 
this time, police said. Then some sort of quarrel and scuffle ensued, and 
Milcher was shot, police said. Milcher apparently was alive when officers 
first arrived, as the original ambulance call was cancelled, police said. Then 
an ambulance and rescue unit were called when the victims breathing became 
irregular, police said. The victim died a short time later. Police are still 
looking for the gun, said to be a Luger-type .22 caliber pistol, late Sunday 
night. Harrison primer tests to determine who might recently have fired a gun 
were administered to all three men, police said. The body of the victim was 
taken to Bernalillo County-Indian Hospital for an autopsy and the Harrison 
primer test, police said. Detectives were questioning two girls late Sunday 
who apparently were with the men earlier in the evening. Investigation into 
the incident is contiuing.
