ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police have released the identities of the officers who fatally shot a man suspected of armed robbery in Albuquerque. Albuquerque police released a statement Tuesday saying the three officers fired on 38-year-old Gilbert Zambronio Lovato after he pointed a BB gun at them earlier this month. Lovato was taken to a hospital, where he later died. Police say the officers involved in the Jan. 7 shooting have been identified as Sgt. Eric Brown, a 17-year police veteran; Detective Russ Carter, a 19-year veteran; and Detective Nava Marquez, a seven-year veteran. Officers and witnesses told investigators they saw Lovato hold a gun to his getaway driver's head. Police searched the vehicle after the incident and also found the note Lovato used while allegedly robbing a restaurant before the shooting occurred.
