Protesters took to the streets again Sunday night in Albuquerque after a standoff between officers and a suspect ended in a house fire that killed a 15-year-old boy.
For Albuquerque police, it was another confrontation where suspects defied their orders and paid the price, including death.
Police have mostly defended officers' actions since the incident, even as their story has evolved and they've asked the public for patience and time to determine exactly what happened."Both individuals were given opportunities to safely exit the house," the Albuquerque Police DepartmentPolice said Thursday that a"noise flash diversionary device" deployed to force the suspect to surrender has been known to spark fires, but that it had never happened before in his city.
A mission to get Kelley in handcuffs started Wednesday when officers found him working on a stolen motorcycle, police said Sunday. Police on Sunday also tacked on other allegations, some informal and not filed in court."Detectives later discovered a gun in the car Kelley arrived in," the department said in its statement.
A SWAT team, which includes city and county sheriff's officers, ultimately responded and tried to coax Kelley out using negotiators and then deploying more coercive methods.
