"Otero County Sheriff's Deputy Jacob Diaz-Austin age 28, is charged in the fatal shooting of 17 year Elijah Hadley outside Mescalero in June, 2024. Deputy Diaz-Austin is seeking dismissal of the first-degree murder charge on grounds that prosecutors filed a criminal complaint that failed to list witnesses to the shooting."
"Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman last month charged Diaz-Austin after Otero county conducted an internal investigation and found no violations of departmental policies."
"The hearing and protest are both scheduled for Monday and multiple news outlets plan coverage."
