A man who deputies say was trying to break into a North Valley home was shot and killed early Thursday.
Bernalillo County deputies report that they found 43-year-old Dimas Apodaca, dead in a front yard at Pueblo Luna near Second Street and Osuna.
Neighbor Orlando Lucero said that he heard “three loud thumps, sounds like they kicked the door in. Come to find out it was a sledgehammer followed by four or five shots and a car speeding off.”
Sergeant Mark Kmatz of the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office says people at the scene have been detained.
“We’ve made contact with everybody here that we have detained, but just for interview purposes,” he said. “It doesn’t mean they were involved.”
Nobody else was hurt in the incident that happened at about 3:00 in the morning.

detained?.... Heck, purchase a gift pack of ammo!
Practice “point shooting” and the 2nd guy won’t be speeding off!
Do you think Jack Bauer uses his gun sights?
Good shooting, citizen. Civilization thanks you.
Ol’ Dimas had quite the rap sheet. But in the spirit of epoc criminal fail, was apparently looking for the house’s previous owner who’d sold it some time before.
