From Albuquerque:
Patrick Murphy was the queen of Albuquerque and New Mexico's drag scene.
She, as most people referred to the dainty 5-foot-3-inch man, could sew shimmering gowns for her drag performances in a matter of hours.
She could command the attention of a whole room with a performance as Diana Ross, then throw back a few drinks, or more, at her favorite bars.
She held the proudly won title of Miss New Mexico Gay Rodeo Association 2008.
"She was an icon in the community," said Wade Kuenzi, assistant manager and bartender at Murphy's favorite bar, Sidewinders Ranch gay bar near Central and Wyoming boulevards.
"Everyone knew Patricia," he said.
But few knew the man accused of killing her Jan. 8 by shooting her several times in the head....
