On January 24, 2017, 29-year-old Jeremy Lopez-Robledo was shot and killed by Las Cruces officers after a foot pursuit that ended outside a Lowe’s grocery store at 1410 Missouri Avenue. A U.S. Marshals task force had located Lopez-Robledo because he was wanted for violating probation. Officers say he fled, resisted, and was armed with a folding knife that he swung aggressively during the struggle.

Body camera, store surveillance and eyewitness statements were reviewed by an Officer-involved Incident Task Force made up of state and local agencies. Investigators found Lopez-Robledo held the knife in a threatening manner from first contact; Officer Manuel Frias fired four shots and was later cleared of wrongdoing by the Third Judicial District Attorney’s Office. Frias had been cut during the altercation but suffered non-severe injuries.

Lopez-Robledo had a lengthy criminal history and was described as a suspected Las Cruces gang member with prior assaults on police. Does anyone have information about Lopez-Robledo’s activities in Las Cruces around January 2017 or witnessed the incident?
