A June, a welfare check was done by an Otero County deputy on a 17-year-old. He was then shot and killed. A month later the deputy's name has not been released, no answers have been given concerning the incident and the New Mexico State Police nor the 12th Judicial District have released further information on the investigation.
A video was released to via an information request to KOAT. The news report shows that on June 25, 2024 after 11 p.m., an Otero County sheriff's deputy responded to a welfare check on 17-year-old Elijah Hadley.
The deputy can be heard trying to ask Hadley what he is doing on Highway 70. As Hadley approaches the deputy, he is asked to show his hands. At that moment, the 17-year-old threw to the side what looked to be a gun, later found to be an airsoft pistol.
The deputy then shot Hadley four times. Hadley collapses to the ground. The unnamed deputy informs OCSO he's unharmed and shots were fired.
As the deputy waits for backup, he can be heard telling Hadley not to move in the video released by KOAT News.
The 17-year-old has been on the ground for more than three minutes — until shots are fired again. Hadley was then shot more than 15 times as he lay on the ground injured. Five minutes pass and the deputy can be heard breathing heavily, still waiting for deputies to arrive. When the Otero County deputies arrive by 11:23 p.m. to offer aid it was too late for the teen. The deputy checked Hadley's body for a pulse to find none as per the video release.
News coverage has been minimal and locals are asking why and wanting "justice for Elijah"
There has been a call for a rally to bring awareness and calling fir justice and a release of information on the deputy.
His sister Katie Rose has called on Social Media for a walk and rememberance...
Richard Welch of Cloudcroft who also operates the Otero County Independents page is attempting to organize a march and a public awareness campaign.

This is part of a right wing conspiracy to keep moderate voices off the air.
Get well soon Anthony.
fascinating, i had no idea that diabetes was part of a conspiracy.
Many states including New Mexico have discouraged their residents from obtaining a Real ID by charging substantially more than a "Standard ID".
New Mexico charges an additional $18 for a Real ID, doubling the cost of a license or ID here.
Other states charge up to $90 or more for a Real ID.
question for you - do you know when the requirement for "real id" came about?
2005 was when the dept of homeland security was established - right in the middle of the bush/cheney regime....we took a giant step toward becoming a police state - and dear leader is working towards even more "big brother".
The dept. of Homeland Security was established in 2002, and became active in 2003. The requirement for Real ID was started in 2005.
Way to go MLG!!
You've secured 2 hundredths of 1% of the $10 trillion in foreign investment announced so far in the last few weeks.
What would we do without leadership like this?
at least she's facilitating foreign investments, while our Dear Leader is telling our trading partners and allies to take a hike.
You confuse me.
You say she's facilitating foreign investment, but then say "Our dear leader is telling partners and allies to take a hike" which could only refer to her. Because as I stated in my previous post, Trump has negotiated $10 trillion in investments from our partners and allies so far.
So MLG says the root problem is loneliness.
What has she and her party done to help?
Ive always leaned liberal and progressive, but hold to my Independent voter status. I have become extremely disenchanted with Gov Grisham over time. While I won't speak from any political position here, I have to agree with Commissioner Barelas comments about our Govs claims not matching with her actions. Also, I
The following is from the International Wolf Center;
funny you should mention polio; our new H&HS secretary, robt. kennedy jr, has made a lot of $$ advocating against vaccines - including the salk vaccine. he's been achieving some success in reviving measles lately, maybe he can do the same for polio - pretty bizarre request.
RFK is a lot like me in that regard, he's not actually advocating against vaccines, just advocating for better science, or at least science, before approving them. Something that has been sorely lacking from the NIH, FDA, and CDC. None of which allowed any research that didn't meet their political agenda. And al
