Two people were arrested on Thursday in connection to the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy, whose death prompted Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D-NM) to ban firearm carry in Albuquerque.
Jose Romero, 22, and Nathen Garley, 21, are in custody in connection to the Sept. 6 shooting that left Froylan Williams dead and his cousin, Tatiana Villegas, paralyzed from the waist down. Police Chief Harold Medina said at a news conference on Thursday that the shooting appeared to be a case of mistaken identity.
“I’m going to continue pushing to make sure that all of us are using every resource available to put an end to this public health emergency with the urgency it deserves,” Lujan Grisham said in a statement announcing the ban. “I will not accept the status quo — enough is enough.”
