On May 3, 2014, 50-year-old Armand Martin of Albuquerque was shot and killed at his Ventana Ranch home by Albuquerque Police Department officer Daniel Hughes. Martin reportedly suffered a mental health crisis that night; his wife described him as having become erratic and “just going crazy” amid struggles with depression.

Officer Hughes encountered Martin armed and behaving irrationally; the encounter escalated and Hughes shot Martin. The District Attorney’s office and APD Internal Affairs investigated and cleared Hughes, concluding he acted in response to a perceived threat. No arrests or charges were filed in connection with the shooting.

The case was cited among a number of Albuquerque police shootings that raised questions about use of force in incidents involving people with mental health crises. Does anyone have additional information about the circumstances that night or about Martin’s situation before the shooting?
