ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A man was able to avoid a murder charge after taking a plea deal on lesser charges Friday. In August 2022, Jayme Olson shot and killed Nicole Amaya and Bernabe Jurado at a home in northeast Albuquerque.
Court records say Amaya opened fire first and Olson fired in response, hitting her and Jurado. Olson pled guilty to tampering with evidence and unlawful taking of a motor vehicle. He took the victims’ car to run away.
