NM cop is charged with murder after shocking video showed him shooting grandmother three times as she was driving away

2024-01-11

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A New Mexico cop who shot a grandmother three times as she tried to driveaway during his questioning has been charged with murder.

Felipe Hernandez, an eight-year veteran of the Las Cruces Police Department, turned himself in to authorities Tuesday morning for the October 3 shooting.

Teresa Gomez, 45, was stopped by Hernandez around 5 am after she parked her car at a public housing complex with her friend Jesus Garcia, 38, who Hernandez recognized from other encounters.

Known wolf.

The officer started to accuse Garcia of trespassing and violating a judge's order as he spoke to Gomez about the situation. The grandmother tried to drive away from the scene as Hernandez shouted at her to stop just before he shot and killed her.

Fleeing police at the scene.

'From the very beginning of Mr. Hernandez’s interaction with Ms. Gomez, the ability to manage protocol is non-existent. His interactions with her, just on a human level, was exceptionally subpar and certainly did not meet the standards that LCPD demands of its officers,' Doña Ana County District Attorney Gerald Byers said in a press conference.

In nine-minute bodycam footage starts as Hernandez pulls Gomez over he asks her to roll her window down and open the door, as she tells him that she was trying to locate her keys.

The passenger, Garcia, then pulls out a paintball gun from his waist as Hernandez asks the driver to step out of the car.

Passenger pulls gun-like object.

'I don't need to step out,' Gomez says.

'Step out now or I will pull you out,' Hernandez responds.

Gomez then tells the officer that she wants to 'see his sergeant' and continues to refuse to get out of her vehicle.

The officer then starts to use aggressive language and profanities and threatens to 'tase' her until Gomez eventually gets out.

Gomez steps to the side of the car as Hernandez shines his flashlight back on Garcia as he moves the paintball gun in the car.

'I'm not doing nothing,' Garcia says.

Gomez explained she was searching for her lost car keys and that she was looking for her friend 'Butterfly.'

The officer began to question their presence outside the public housing complex, claiming that her passenger is not supposed to be there. Gomez remained fairly calm throughout the exchange and went on to explain that she was unaware of any specific violations.

Hernandez then asks her why she was in the housing complex at that time and aggressively tells her: 'I will really, really make your life a living hell' and threatens to tow her car.

The grandmother then tells him that she was visiting guests before the officer informs her that visitors are only allowed in the complex during certain times.
