LAS VEGAS, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico State Police have identified the officers linked to the fatal shooting of Las Vegas-area man.
KRQE-TV reports (https://goo.gl/g2VgC2) that the agency said Wednesday the officers are Anthony Robinson and Jonathan Wright. The agency said Robinson has been with state police for a year and Wright has been an officer for three.
State police say the officers shot 48-year-old Arcenio Lujan after he pointed a rifle at the officers after they went to his home because of a report of a suicidal man.
A search warrant affidavit filed last week in state District Court states that Lujan was upset over being fired from his job as a parks maintenance worker.
