"Pederson is the ex-wife of Antony Coletta, Turner said. Antony Coletta was arrested Oct. 6, 2005, after he entered an Española casino with $22,000 in cash, a handgun and a badge, claiming to be an international police agent."
"Davis said she spoke with Antony Coletta last week, and he told her that he and Garcia had been having a disagreement. Coletta then left the store as Garcia arrived in the parking lot, Davis said. She said she saw the two men arguing outside, but did not know what the argument was about."
I ran across an article a couple a days ago that has some additional info...
"Deputies are trying to determine whether Garcia was intoxicated at the time of the attack after finding a can of beer at the scene.
Coletta says that Garcia, who had done work for her in the past, had been told that he wasnt supposed to be at her home unless she was there.

Not rushing to judgement here, but sounding more and more like the vic was contributing to things.
Like I am trying to hammer home above, these situations seem to be alot more complex than "devil-pit ruthlessly mauls innocent human out of the wild blue yonder".
