On May 16, 2020, 36-year-old Alexandria Chavez of Albuquerque was killed by a fatal gunshot at the home of a close friend, Junior Josue Espinal Calix. Court proceedings describe Chavez and Calix spending the evening drinking Jack Daniel’s, smoking marijuana and playing video games. Calix admitted he routinely handled a Polymer80 9mm pistol he believed was unloaded, pointed it at Chavez’s head, and pulled the trigger; Chavez died instantly.

Calix called 911 after the shooting, was arrested and released on bond after about two weeks in custody. In court he pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, expressed remorse and apologized to Chavez’s family; his defense noted he had since stopped using substances and held steady work. Calix received a five-year probation sentence for the accidental fatal shooting.

Is there anyone who knew Alexandria or was present that night who can add detail about what happened or about her life?
