ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A sixteen-year-old accused of shooting and killing a man while trying to steal his truck will be held behind bars. According to the criminal complaint, Christopher Sanchez saw a group of people trying to break into his truck and tried to stop them before multiple people from the group opened fire killing him.
An informant, who the state said was at the attempted theft, told police that Jeremy Jones told him he fired eight shots at Christopher Sanchez in August. Jones didn’t fight the state’s motion to keep him locked up pending trial.
He’s facing numerous charges including murder. A trial date has not been set. Police are still looking for the other suspects.
