Edgar Camacho-Alvarado

Male, Hispanic

Date of the incident: 2/20/2016

Albuquerque, Bernalillo, NM
7501 Central Ave NW

A deputy US marshal was searching for a suspect in a 2014 homicide when he noticed Camacho-Alvarado carrying a gun, state police said. New Mexico is an open carry state, so carrying a gun in public is not a crime. However, the deputy chased Camacho-Alvarado when he fled and shot him after he allegedly pointed his gun at the deputy, according to investigators.
