Grisham is a stupid cunt.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A third arrest was made Friday in connection
with a shooting outside an Albuquerque baseball stadium that killed
an 11-year-old boy and prompted the New Mexico governor to issue a controversial gun ban.
Albuquerque police took Daniel Gomez, 26, into custody a day after
two other men were identified as suspects. Police didn’t immediately
release further details about Gomez’s arrest.
Jose Romero, 22, and Nathen Garley, 21, were being held for the
Sept. 6 shooting after an Albuquerque Isotopes game in what appeared
to be a case of mistaken identity, Police Chief Harold Medina said
at a news conference.
Medina said the two men had argued with people during the ballgame
and mistakenly opened fire on a truck carrying Froylan Villegas and
his family as it was leaving the parking lot because it closely
resembled the truck of the intended targets.
“These cowards thought they were tough,” Medina said in an earlier
social media post. “They killed an innocent child.”
Romero was already wanted for failing to appear in court in
connection with alleged drug dealing, Medina said.
Garley happened to be in custody when he was arrested in connection
with the killing. He had been stopped by state police on Sept. 13
while returning from Arizona and authorities found a gun and about
100,000 fentanyl tablets in the car, state Police Chief W. Troy
Weisler said at the news conference.
Further investigation linked him to the shooting, authorities
alleged.
Garley’s case has been assigned to the New Mexico Law Offices of the
Public Defender, but the case is still in its early stages,
spokesperson Maggie Shepard said Friday. She did not know if Romero
would also have a public defender.
The office did not immediately respond to an inquiry about Gomez.
Police alleged that the men, both reputed gang members, pulled up in
a car and attacked the pickup truck that was leaving the minor
league game at Isotopes Stadium.
More than a dozen shots were fired, killing Froylan Villegas and
leaving his cousin, Tatiana Villegas, paralyzed from the waist down, authorities said. A GoFundMe account for Tatiana Villegas’ recovery
has raised nearly $40,000 to date.
The boy’s mother and his infant brother were also inside the truck
but weren’t injured, although two bullets barely missed the other
child, police spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said.
Romero and Garley had had an ongoing feud with another man and
argued with him during the baseball game. The man drove a white
Dodge pickup truck, Gallegos said.
The victims were in a very similar white Dodge truck that drove by
the truck of the intended target, police said.
“It is our belief that these cowards mixed up the two vehicles and
shot into the wrong vehicle,” the police chief said.
“Investigators used cellphone data and social media to track the
movements of several individuals,” Gallegos said. “The day after the shooting, the man who was feuding with Romero sent him a message on
Instagram indicating they shot at the wrong truck.”
The shooting, one of several involving children, prompted New Mexico
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, to issue an emergency
public health order days later suspending the right to carry
firearms in public in and around Albuquerque. The measure was fought
by Republican lawmakers and gun rights groups and a federal judge
last week granted a temporary restraining order to block the order
pending another court hearing next month.
U.S. District Judge David Urias said that the governor’s original
order was likely to cause irreparable harm to people deprived of the
right to carry a gun in public for self-defense.
Grisham then amended the order to apply only to public parks and
playgrounds where children and their families gather.
