Las Cruces police were called to the lobby of the Hotel Encanto around 12:30 a.m. Monday, said spokesman Dan Trujillo, where they found Deputy Jeremy Martin, 29, who had been shot "multiple times." Martin, who was found bleeding profusely just outside the elevator, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

The other deputy, who is being identified only as a 27-year-old man, is in custody, police said. He is being interviewed by detectives and charges are pending, police said.

He won’t be put on paid leave and then cleared for a justifiable shooting, is my guess.

Either a love triangle or drugs. If not, the shooter is totally insane—went off with little motive.

‘The other deputy, who is being identified only as a 27-year-old man, is in custody, police said. ‘

Why didnt they post his name? Anyone else would have been given that treatment. Looks like a coverup in the making.

My first thought was the shooter hit on the victim, got turned down, went nuts.

A New Mexico attorney confirms that his client, Santa Fe County sheriff’s Deputy Ty Chan, is in custody in connection with the deadly shooting of a fellow deputy.

Attorney John Day says he’s on his way to the southern New Mexico city of Las Cruces, where the shooting happened at a hotel following a night of drinking and arguing.

Las Cruces police say Chan allegedly fired several rounds at Jeremy Martin as Martin ran down a hotel hallway and into an elevator.

"Hotel Encanto."

I guess they weren't enchanted in the Land of Enchantment.
