ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — The family of a man shot outside his home as deputy U.S. marshals sought to arrest a homicide suspect nearby has sent a letter to federal officials, saying they have been stonewalled while requesting answers in the case.
State and federal officials have disclosed few details in the officer-involved shooting Saturday that killed 23-year-old Edgar Camacho-Alvarado, except to confirm that he was killed as deputy marshals were attempting to execute an arrest warrant for 25-year-old George Bond.
Authorities say Bond was apprehended several doors down from Camacho-Alvarado's home hours after the shooting.
Camacho-Alvarado's family says he was outside repairing his pickup truck when he was shot.
Robert Gorence, an attorney for Camacho-Alvarado's mother, said Tuesday that the family is seeking to find out why law enforcement opened fire outside their home
