It seems it is not news anymore.  If you have any local news about the shooter that would be welcome also.

I guess its not even making the local news.

Seems to have just dropped off the map.....

Minor update today...

Thanks

And it looks like the charges are back.....

Sounds like we're about to find out if justice & truth are still alive.

How will a jury of his peers see this incident?

May you live in interesting times. Thanks

Thanks for the info.

Don't see much happening on the news for this case since August.  Any local info.

Not a whole lot going on in the case.  There is a pretrial conference set for April.  The only mildly interesting thing that took place is that all the firearms seized from other individuals on the evening of the shooting, have been ordered to be released to their owners.  I'm sure some would have assumed those firearms would have never been released by Albuquerque Police Department.

He could probably use assistance. Michelle Malkin () did a telethon for him.

That is interesting.  I assume they kept the pistol from the good guy/ shooter.

Not much new going on.  Trial has been pushed back until October.

That should be interesting..

Being i think the shooter was in the right.

Bump

Kyle is free, how goes it there.

This is the land of manana.

What do YOU think?

Mainly interested in the shooterSteven Ray Baca  I feel he was Justified and should get off.  New Mexico for all its good points is going the wrong political way.  
So I am out of the loop.  I don’t know what to think.
My county in Texas went liberal commie in the last election so I would hate to face a grand jury here in a justified shooting but better here than New Mexico.

Case has gone oddly quiet.  Deadlines were set in late April, but nothing has happened since.  All the deadlines have passed.  It was anticipated trial would begin in October.  Not surprising that did not happen, but it is surprising all the deadlines passed without an extension being filed.

Any news?

Case continues to not have much movement.  There is an ongoing dispute regarding some subpoenas defense counsel served on City employees with no direct knowledge of the incident.  But not much going on in the case.

THANKS

Still not much going on in the case.  A scheduling conference is set for October 19.  So new deadlines will be set at that point.

Thanks.

Over two years and still no resolution.
Remind me to never get in a situation where I have to pull a trigger

Trial set for 8 days, starting June 20, 2023.

Thanks

That will be three years

Didn’t that POS Albuquerque prosecutor just win State AG?

Don’t know but sounds right.

A little weirdness the past couple days.  On May 22, the Court set a hearing for May 24 for a change of plea.  Usually means Defendant is going to plead guilty or no contest.  But the change of plea hearing got cancelled today and has not been rescheduled, as of now.

Thanks for the update.  Of course, I think he was innocent. Any news on the guy that got shot?

Bump.

Anything new on this case?

Yes in for info

Steven Baca pled no contest to Aggravated Battery, a misdemeanor.  He also pled guilty to unlawful carrying of a deadly firearm, a petty misdemeanor, and he pled guilty to Battery, a petty misdemeanor.  Sentencing is set for September 6.  There was no sentencing agreement between DA and Mr. Baca.  Total max sentence is 2 years, less one day.

I guess he will be going to jail then. With no sentencing agreement they will go for the max
I thought he had a CCL.
I guess he is lucky

Thank you for the update.

The longer this takes the better i guess



Oñate monument shooter delays sentencing to November - Austin Fisher, Source New Mexico

The 2020 Oñate monument shooter will get to experience at least one more New Mexico autumn before he faces any accountability from the criminal legal system.

Video taken on June 15, 2020 shows Steven Ray Baca pushing a woman from behind to the ground, injuring her legs; macing a man in the face; pushing a second woman to the ground, injuring her head; and finally shooting a second man four times in the back at close range with a .40-caliber handgun.

The shooting ended a protest on that day at the statue called La Jornada that depicts Spanish colonizer Juan de Oñate called across from Tiguex Park in Albuquerque’s Old Town neighborhood.

Baca, 34, was supposed to appear in court in downtown Albuquerque on Wednesday to receive his sentence from Second Judicial District Judge Brett Loveless. The judge could have put him in prison for almost two years, the maximum sentence under the plea deal Baca made in June 2023.

Over the long Labor Day weekend, Baca’s attorneys managed to convince Loveless to delay the sentencing hearing until Nov. 1.

Through his attorneys Jason Bowles and Diego Esquibel, Baca on Sunday asked the court to push the hearing back.

His defense team wrote that it had not received a “probation report,” and he “needs additional time to gather additional character letters.”

David Foster, the special prosecutor assigned to the case by Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, took no position on Baca’s request.

Citing Foster’s lack of a position, Judge Loveless on Monday granted Baca’s request.

Baca has a pending plea deal with Foster which could result in probation, or land him in prison for two years minus one day.

His plea agreement dropped the charge of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm for the shooting. He pleaded no contest to aggravated battery, and pleaded guilty to battery and unlawful carrying of a deadly weapon.

Source New Mexico’s National Editor Marisa Demarco did not assign, discuss or edit this story due to a conflict-of-interest concern.

I have not seen the actual documents, but it appears Steven Baca was sentenced to 2 years' probation, anger management classes and community service.

I guess that is a felony?

Any news on the guy he shot?

Those four two or three that were beating his ass with a skate board should be in anger management class too.

It could have been worse.  He was in the wrong for throwing those women down but as for the shooting I think he was Justified.
He was standing up to Marxist, communist, antifa type thugs.  Thank God he did not have a Jan6 judge.
