ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Authorities released details and identified those involved in a shootout that led to an oxygen tank explosion and left a man dead and others injured last month in Veguita.
State Police spokesman Ray Wilson said Lt. Richard Lopez had been with the Socorro County Sheriff’s Office for one month and it was Deputy Carlos Valenzuela’s first day when the two got into the wild gunfight. Neither was injured in the incident.
Wilson said Joseph Remalia, 26, was arrested after the shooting and Dean Gross, 36, was hospitalized along with a woman.
He said Max Jaramillo, 29, was found dead in a ditch nearby and an autopsy showed he had not been struck by gunfire “but the cause and manner of his death is pending.”
