(2018/02/25) City settles Las Cruces Police Brutality case, $1.4 million. By Carlos Andres López
https://www.lcsun-news.com/story/news/crime/2018/02/25/city-settles-las-cruces-police-brutality-case-1-4-
million/365390002/
Excerpt: The Becks' lawsuit centered on allegations that two Las Cruces police officers — Isaiah Baker and
Joseph Campa — violated the couple's civil rights when they responded to a dispute involving the Becks and
a neighbor…
During the trial last February, it was revealed that Beck had tried to lift her head off the ground to call out to
a neighbor. But as she lifted her head, Baker slammed her face onto rocks, her attorneys said. An image of
Beck's bloodied face was presented as evidence during the trial. Her nose and wrist were broken and
fractured.
When her husband then attempted to help her, he was detained by Campa. He testified that he believed his
wife was "choking on her own blood," according to his attorneys. During the trial, a police audio recording of
the incident was played for the jury. In the recording, Baker can be heard saying "she got thrown" and she
got a "face full of rocks," Strickland said. A female officer then said "cool" in response.The Becks were then
placed under arrest.

attempted murder. He was found guilty after two trials and sentenced to life in prison. Officer Carrillo's tape recorder was
on and recorded the whole incident, refuting the suspect's defense that he fired on the officers in self-defense. The

(2017/01/17) Police release officers names additional details from recent police shooting
2017/01/17--https://www.abqjournal.com/929725/police-release-officers-names-additional-details-from-
recent-police-shooting.html
Excerpt: The police identified the officers as Sgt. Eric Brown and Detectives Russ Carter and Nava
Marquez. Carter has been involved in multiple on-duty shootings over the years…Carter has been with
Albuquerque police since 1997. He became a tactical officer in 2002, and has been honored by the
department for his work in the K9 unit. A lawsuit filed against the city alleges that Carter has fired his
weapon eight times in the line of duty, not including the recent shooting. The lawsuit was filed by the
family of Jeremy Robertson, who was shot and killed by two SWAT officers in 2014.
According to that lawsuit, Carter shot and killed a dog in 2000; shot at a vehicle in 2003; fired his
weapon on two occasions in 2005; fired his weapon during a SWAT standoff in Pecos in 2007; shot Jay
Murphy Sr. in 2008; shot Gary Atencio in 2012; and shot at Jeremy Robertson in 2014 while he was
assigned to the now-disbanded Repeat Offender Project. Celina Espinoza, a police spokeswoman, said
according to internal affairs records Carter has shot at people four times, dogs twice and a vehicle
once. Carter was charged with a felony in 2008 after he got into a bar fight while on a Department of
Energy training session in Fort Smith, Ark. Carter and other officers “are representative of a culture of
aggression at APD,” Laura Ives, an attorney for the Robertson family, wrote in the Robertson lawsuit,
which was filed in 2nd Judicial District Court.

(2016/02/12) Lawsuit APD targeted needlessly killed man fleeing from police. By Madeline Schmitt
https://www.krqe.com/news/lawsuit-apd-targeted-needlessly-killed-man-fleeing-from-
police/1019747696
Excerpt: A new lawsuit says the Albuquerque Police Department targeted and needlessly killed a man
who was fleeing from police in July 2014.
Jeremy Robertson, 33, was a burglar and car thief with a lengthy record when he ran from plain
clothes officers trying to arrest him about two years ago for a probation violation.
"The subject was still armed and posing an immediate threat to officers," Deputy Chief William
Roseman said at the time. "At this time we believe two shots were fired and two officers were
involved."
Police quickly explained what happened following the shooting near Central and Eubank. The two
SWAT officers fired at Robertson from across a field near a gas station and Subway restaurant. A gun
was found next to Robertson on the ground.
"As the subject fled, he pulled a hand gun from his waist band," Roseman said.
This was just months after Robertson had a run in with police where he allegedly rammed a patrol car.
Now a lawsuit says Robertson was wrongfully killed that July day and that police officers, specifically
the two SWAT officers, are the ones who created the danger in the busy area of town -- not Robertson.
