Suspect in custody after sixth shooting reported at New Mexico officials' homes, offices

A suspect was in custody Monday in a string of shootings that may have targeted Democratic leaders in Albuquerque, officials said Monday.

The suspect, whose name was not released, was being held on charges unrelated to the six shootings at or near Democratic officials' homes and offices, police Chief Harold Medina said at a news conference.

Officials did not say what charges the person was being held on or if charges will be filed in connection with the shootings since early last month.

Medina said police have seized a weapon from at least one of the shootings. No one has been injured in the shootings.

New Mexico's incoming state house speaker is the sixth Democrat official to be the apparent target of gunfire since early December, police said earlier Monday.

"We're worried and concerned that these are connected and possibly politically motivated," Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said.

Jalapeno Corporation is a small oil and gas company. It is a Nevada corporation and has offices in New Mexico and Nevada. With acreage positions in New Mexico,Texas and various other states, Jalapeno is well positioned for the future. Most of its drilling investments are as a non-operator in unconventional plays that are currently taking place within the Permian and Eagleford Basins. However, as an operator it has continuously been invloved in both shallow well exploration and production and in rank-wildcat exploration efforts in presently unproductive basins.


Here are the Republican candidates Jalapeno Corp has backed in New Mexico.
