Christopher Cuwa Yazzie, 44, was shot and killed in Albuquerque on August 24, 2019, after a neighbor dispute over running water. Yazzie’s fiancée had gone next door to ask their 70-year-old neighbor, Richard Maliszewski, to borrow water; she says Maliszewski responded with racial slurs. Yazzie went to the neighbor’s home to confront him and was shot there. Yazzie was unarmed, according to the fiancée’s account.

Maliszewski was taken into custody and told police he acted in self-defense, claiming Yazzie had threatened him with a bat. He was charged with murder and later convicted for the shooting death of Christopher Yazzie. No other suspects have been identified.
