A suspect was arrested Friday in a shooting that left one person dead and another injured at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque and prompted a shelter-in-place order, officials said. John Fuentes, 18, was arrested by state police officers at a traffic stop around 2:30 p.m. Friday, said Troy Weisler, chief of the New Mexico State Police.
In 2022, New Mexico State basketball player Mike Peake killed UNM student Brandon Travis during a shootout outside the dorms. Travis and his friends attacked Peake over a grudge stemming from a fight at a football game. Peake, who was injured, was never prosecuted in the case, as it was ruled self-defense, but Travis’ accomplices were charged.
