 ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - Murder, tampering with evidence, child abuse, and dozens of counts of kidnapping are a few of the long list of charges Albuquerque police say 22-year-old Marvin Aguilar-Lopez, and 32-year-old Pablo Ortiz are facing. Aguilar-Lopez and Ortiz are two of the men who stormed an Albuquerque Denny's Saturday killing a woman who worked there.
The Albuquerque Police Department is still waiting for full confirmation on the names of the two men since they say they're from Central America and immigration and customs enforcement is now involved. Both suspects in custody say they're from El Salvador, but that's only one twist to the developing story.

According to the criminal complaints obtained by KRQE News 13, the suspects are part of a group that may be connected to a string of armed robberies in Albuquerque.
Saturday's robbery at the Denny's on Coors Boulevard at Iliff Road NW was deadly and the restaurant is closed today. A make-shift memorial sits outside for the female employee who was shot to death. The victim's name has not been released.
Overnight Marvin Aguilar-Lopez and Pablo Ortiz were each booked on an open count of murder, armed robbery and tampering with evidence, five counts of child abuse and 40 counts of kidnapping were added since the restaurant was packed with customers, some were children.
Ortiz was found at a phone booth not far from the Denny's, by an APD detective who thought he looked suspicious.
Aguilar-Lopez was arrested at the Vista Mobile Home Park at 9600 Central Southwest in a car that matched the description of the getaway vehicle. Their search of the gold Malibu uncovered a rifle, handgun and a cash drawer filled with money.
According to the criminal complaint, the suspects have connections to two homes at the mobile home park. Both suspects and their vehicle match the descriptions of a group police witnessed casing-out Westside restaurants in recent days.
Police conducted a massive search at the mobile home park Saturday and Sunday for additional suspects. Nadine Hamby of the Albuquerque Police Department said, "We still got outstanding offenders, the investigation continues to get those people behind bars. As soon as we come up with more leads we will make the arrests as necessary. If it's necessary to conduct more search warrants, we will execute more search warrants." APD have executed six searches so far.
