Anthony Jacob Chavez, 27, of Albuquerque, New Mexico, died on July 2, 2014, after being shot during an encounter with U.S. Marshals who were attempting to serve a federal probation violation arrest warrant. Reports say Marshal Kenneth Daniel fired the shot that killed Chavez. Authorities did not publicly release whether Chavez was armed or the detailed sequence of events leading to the shooting.

Chavez was born January 13, 1987, in Deming, New Mexico. He worked as an independent landscaping contractor, was married to Monique Josephine Chavez and was father to two children, Angel Martin Chavez and Aleah Monique Chavez. He had prior legal troubles, including an outstanding charge from a 2013 arrest for vehicular homicide and a federal probation term related to admitting to smuggling undocumented immigrants.

Friends and neighbors remembered him as a devoted family man who often helped others. Funeral services were held July 9, 2014, at Holy Family Catholic Church in Deming with burial at Mountain View Cemetery. Does anyone have information about the events that led to the shooting or was in the area that day?
