It is now being alleged that Barrs drove Walton to the motel and told him to rob Russell
When Barrs saw that Walton had been shot inside the room, he fled the scene in his car leaving Walton to die
Barrs has now been charged with murder
Detective Jodi Gonterman of the Albuquerque police department told CNN that an informant said Barrs gave Walton the gun used to commit the robbery and then drove him to the motel.
The informant also told police that after hearing the gunfire, Barrs drove around and found Walton covered in blood.
He got out of the car, and then after looking at him allegedly got back in and drove off with his girlfriend in the passenger seat.
The gun used by Walton was later retrieved in the parking lot by police.
He has now been charged with; felony murder, two counts of kidnapping, tow counts of armed robbery, aggravated battery, assault with intent to commit a violent felony, and aggravated burglary.
I think he kidnapped the robber/shooter.
BTW folks, if BO had sons...
Guess I’m a little confused here. From the article:
“The couple were in New Mexico on a cross-country road trip which started in Washington, D.C., and was due to finish in California.”
Uh, they left D.C. with weapons? They were going to Cali with weapons? Don’t know for sure but I don’t think Cali has any reciprocity with anybody do they? As for D.C. Well we all know the deal there on weapons. So, what’s up with that? Didn’t they say they had permits? Will they be charged in any state that doesn’t have reciprocity. Glad it turned out for the good but you know they may just run in to some over zealous prosecuter someplace.
