On Friday, June 14, 2024, a few minutes after midnight, Grant County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched to the area of the Prescott Apartments in Santa Clara to a possible shooting. Residents in the area told deputies they heard about eight or nine gunshots and a vehicle taking off.
According to a GCSO offense report, upon arrival a deputy observed a male standing in the yard at 504 Jaguar Street, Santa Clara, who originally declined to provide any information to the deputy saying, "I am not no snitch." However, later he stated he had been in a fight with another individual and had "beaten that other male subject up." The reporting male said the male he had been fighting with returned with other people and began shooting toward his house and that he heard someone say, "they got shot, but she isn't here anymore."

In 2016 a bail reform amendment to the constitution was passed. The intention was to reduce the dependency on cash bail, if the defendant was not deemed a flight risk. Supporters contended that poorer individuals could not post bail and were unfairly jailed until trial. The amendment would change pretrial detention decisions to be based on risk rather than financial means.
"'Do you want to hold dangerous people in jail?' one headline read before the vote," Norm Wheeler said, candidate for District Attorney. "Most people I've talked with thought they were voting to make it more difficult for people to be released from jail pending trial. The effect of the amendment was just the opposite and is now called catch and release."
Constitutional Amendment 1: Proposing to amend article 2, section 13 of the constitution of New Mexico to protect public safety by granting courts new authority to deny release on bail pending trial for dangerous defendants in felony cases and to provide for the release of non-dangerous defendants who do not pose a flight risk.
