On January 26, 1991, a domestic dispute in Chimayó, New Mexico, escalated into a mass killing that left seven people dead, including New Mexico State Police Officer Glen Michael Huber, 35. The sequence began when Rio Arriba County Deputy Jerry Martinez went to serve a restraining order on 29-year-old Ricky Abeyta and was shot and killed. Officer Huber, who was nearby investigating an unrelated matter, responded to the gunfire and was ambushed as he approached; he was shot before he could fully exit his patrol car and died at the scene.

Abeyta, armed with a rifle, then shot and killed five civilians at the residence before fleeing into the hills. A large manhunt followed and Abeyta surrendered the next day. He was charged with multiple counts of murder; at trial in November 1991 he was convicted on four counts of first-degree murder, two counts of second-degree murder, and one count of involuntary manslaughter and received four consecutive life sentences.

Does anyone have memories of Officer Huber or the victims from Chimayó who can add details about their lives or the events that day?
