LAS CRUCES, NM - Doña Ana County District Attorney Fernando R. Macias announced that a jury has found former Las Cruces Police Officer Felipe Hernandez guilty of voluntary manslaughter in the 2023 shooting death of 45-year-old Terry Leyva Gomez. Hernandez was acquitted of the greater charge of second-degree murder. Following the verdict, he was remanded into custody pending sentencing.
District Attorney Fernando R. Macias said he is encouraged by the jury's decision to hold Hernandez accountable.
"It is very positive that the jury held Felipe Hernandez responsible for the death of Terry Leyva Gomez," Macias said. "We will be asking for a lengthy sentence, as permitted under the law. While it is difficult to determine why the jury did not go forward with the second-degree murder charge, we firmly believe the evidence presented at trial supported that charge. Nevertheless, we are respectful of the jury's deliberation process and the results."
