At an Allingham-Golding American Legion Post 18 meeting on March 13, 2023, the Beat learned from Art Sierra of the Fort Bayard Disabled American Veterans Chapter 1 that the organization had been the charity of the month at The Silver City Food Co-op.
Sierra said they had received more than $1,000 from the Rounding up program, which rounds people's cash register totals up to the next dollar.
The investigation of the death of a five-year-old child, is still underway by the Grant County Sheriff's Office. The Grant County Sheriff's Office, due to respect of the family of the decedent, minimal information was released. There are multiple factors that could have caused this tragedy to take place.
All these factors are taken into consideration within the active ongoing investigation. Relevant information will be released to the public at the appropriate time as to not have certain information compromise the investigation. The Grant County Sheriff's Detectives are working diligently on this case.
