Late on the evening of June 23, 2021, a Santa Fe County deputy located a truck that had been reported stolen earlier that day and identified the driver as 32-year-old Nathan Roybal. When deputies activated their lights a slow-speed pursuit followed through city streets; Roybal swerved and at times drove the truck in reverse, eventually stopping near Siler and Rufina Court.

Law enforcement reports say Roybal emerged from the truck through a window and pointed a gun at deputies, who then opened fire. Roybal ran briefly, was struck by gunfire and collapsed in the street; deputies approached, secured the scene and confirmed no one else was in the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The shooting was investigated as a deputy-involved shooting and no other suspects were sought. Reports note Roybal had prior charges including burglary, car theft and aggravated assault.

Did anyone in Santa Fe witness the chase or the moments around Siler and Rufina Court that night?
