That's what 14-year-old Raylene Jaramillo's mother says may have led to the death of her daughter early Saturday.
The point-blank shooting of the former Valley High freshman occurred during an underage drinking party at a house in the South Valley where police have been called more than a dozen times before, Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz said Monday.

a) a video game system with grand theft auto or similar game, and
b) parent(s) who never really gave a crap.
At least he restored his honor.

That'll teach her!
Well, maybe not.
I have no words for this blatant evil. ...Only that if I was the girl’s father, this little SOB would have his brains scattered. The hell with their so-called “detention center”.
Somebody PLEASE tell me that New Mexico has, and utilizes, the death penalty...
Schultz said he is “very concerned” over the circumstances that led up to the girl’s death.
That’s because Ferrell’s home has been the focus of at least a half-dozen calls for police service in the past nine months, Schultz said, including one in which the homeowner was arrested on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor after a party at which a young man was firing shots into the air on March 8.
“The history of the house is very concerning,” Schultz said. “There have been 14 calls to her home since July 4, 2005, and many of those have been for loud music, parties and disturbances.”
A criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court spells out what happened at Ferrell’s home on March 8:
Police received an anonymous call saying there was a party in progress and a male was in the yard “shooting a handgun into the air.”
When they arrived, officers saw a female who was passed out being dragged from the home by a male. Two females then dragged her back inside the home.
Inside Ferrell’s home, officers found numerous open alcohol containers and six people under age 21 who were intoxicated. Four of them were under 18.
The six minors were cited and released, and Ferrell was booked into the West Side jail on four counts of giving or selling alcohol to minors and four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Ferrell served four days in jail and was placed on 18 months’ supervised probation in exchange for a guilty/deferred judgment on the charges, court records say.
Schultz said Ferrell was to be booked into the West Side jail Monday evening on the probation violation charges stemming from Saturday’s incident.
This is the second time in a little more than a week that a 14-year-old girl in New Mexico has been the victim of a shooting.
That's why as a father my favorite word is "no".
Use it often.

I dont think we use it out here..cannot remember a death penalty being carried out
Watching it is scary. They focus on one gang each segment. Recently one was on hispanic gangs in Texas, and crossing into Mexico. The cops had in custody one 17 year old “hit man” who was the prime suspect in 30 (yes, thirty, three zero) gang related murders.
These gang members, and Mocco “sounds” like one, have no respect of anyones life, not theirs and certainly not yours or mine.
Awful
Shipless pirates. Should be treated their waterborne equivalents.
So sad. Only 14 years old. Rest in peace. And I hope justice is served.
Teasing led to her death? What about the repeated bouts underage drinking facilitated by the adults with custody of said minor?
How is it that someone with such a history is permitted to retain said custody? One would think that the first offense would be enough.
"Father? What's that?" Nobody in these stories has a father.
Anyone firing a gun in such a manner in my neighborhood is going to catch a well aimed bullet post haste.

I would chuckle at your cleverness if what you have said wasn't so damned, soberly true.
