On April 21, 2014, 19-year-old Mary Hawkes was fatally shot by an Albuquerque Police Department officer during a foot chase in Albuquerque. Police were pursuing Hawkes as a suspect in an auto theft investigation when, according to reports, she produced a firearm and an officer fired, killing her. The officer’s body camera was not recording at the time, leaving no lapel video of the encounter.

The shooting drew intense public scrutiny. Hawkes’ family criticized the officer’s conduct after the incident, noting that the officer relaxed at a Hooters restaurant later that day, which the family described as insensitive. No arrest was made of the officer involved, and the case prompted broader public debate about police use of force and accountability in the city.

Does anyone have additional details about the investigation or witnesses to the chase who can help clarify what happened?
