On May 22, 2014, 37-year-old Ralph Chavez died in Albuquerque after a confrontation with police that ended in a shooting. Officers Graves and Fuchs encountered Chavez, who was described as armed with a knife and posing an immediate threat. Body and scene video released by the Albuquerque Police Department shows the confrontation and has been cited as central to reconstructing the sequence of events that led to the officers firing their weapons.

Police say officers attempted de-escalation before using lethal force. No arrests were made because the shooting involved on-duty officers responding to what was reported as an active threat; the officers’ actions were reviewed as part of the investigation.

If anyone witnessed the incident or has additional video or context about what led up to the encounter, share what is known.
