Episode Details

In a shocking downtown Albuquerque shooting on July 3rd, four officers fired 16 rounds after 41-year-old Stephen Griego pulled a gun during an altercation — resulting in his death. Griego, who had posted videos weeks prior declaring he’d arm himself to prevent future attacks following a pepper-spray incident, reportedly told police he was defending himself before being shot six times. The two men he initially targeted were wounded but not critically, while a bystander nearby was also struck — possibly by an officer’s bullet. This marks the seventh police shooting this year in Albuquerque, five of which were fatal — and all involved officers with no prior shooting experience. An internal investigation is underway to assess policy compliance and determine the origin of the stray bullet, with findings to be forwarded to the District Attorney’s Office.
