This morning, a jury found Manuel “Manny” Rios-Alderete guilty of Willful and Deliberate Murder, Tampering with Evidence, Conspiracy to Tamper and Receiving Stolen Property following the shooting death of Adan Ponce-Galdeano. Rios-Alderete remains in custody following the announcement of the verdict and will face a sentencing hearing at a later date. Rios-Alderete faces up to life in prison, plus five years, for these charges.
“Today’s conviction delivers justice for Adan Ponce-Galdeano and his loved ones. No family should have to endure such a brutal and senseless loss, and while this verdict cannot undo the pain they’ve suffered, it ensures that Manual Rios-Alderete is held accountable for his crimes,” said Attorney General Raúl Torrez. “My Office remains steadfast in its commitment to pursuing justice and holding violent offenders responsible. We look forward to the Court’s sentencing to bring finality to this case.”
Ponce-Galdeano was ambushed on Thanksgiving 2022 and shot multiple times, twice in the chest and once in the head. The dispute was over a narcotics-related debt and a feud between Rios-Alderete, his partner Michael Sweeney, and Ponce-Galdeano. Following the shooting, Ponce-Galdeano’s body was discovered in the garage of a home in the Lone Butte area.
Rios-Alderete was one of five defendants in the case and the only one that did not accept a plea deal. Three of his four co-defendants were previously convicted and testified at trial.
The trial lasted seven days. Rios-Alderete will be held at the Santa Fe Adult Correctional Center until sentencing.
a perfect example of the incompetence of the trump regime - bathwater out - baby out...details - we don't need no stinkin details. the only paint brush they possess must be half a mile wide...government by fools and charlatans.
This was not a notice of action, but a request for compliance.

Dolly has started a great program and I commend her efforts.
I know it's been a while since I've bought a children's book, but I don't think $33 per book would be considered a bargain even at today's prices.
The proposed rules would likely force all outdoor construction to happen only between the hours of dusk - dawn from April - October.
I wonder how many of the idiots proposing and supporting this rule need a new roof on their house, or on their neighbors house.
it's interesting to read that the proposed "wording is dangerous to small business owners"....please consider the potential for danger to the folks who are working in the heat. one danger is an inconvenience/expense - the other is potential death.
I would take it that you have not read the actual proposed rule. The link is in the article.
I believe that even as a former construction worker who would seem to want better rules in place, you'll end up agreeing that the proposed rules go to far.
Teaching in a low-performing school serving economically disadvantaged populations.
That pretty much covers every teacher in the state.
This executive order does nothing that the governor couldn't have done on her own without an EO.
While the Office of the Governor's website calls this a drought emergency, no where in the actual EO is it called an emergency, nor or emergency powers invoked.
So after months of investigation, only 3 items were substantiated.
First, a failure to use the increased funding on capital improvements (fixing the ac). This is a matter that should receive priority, as physical activity should play a major role in any youth center.
If they would've labeled it as beef, carrots, potatoes, and other natural ingredients, there would be no need for a recall.
not to worry - under the trump regime there won't be nearly as many safeguards for situations like this. we'll be able to determine your personal level of safety purely on your ability to pay for that protection.
You love to rant against president Trump, but like most people who rant against him, your rants have no substance, and no merit.
I would expect that sometime in the near future the CDC will also drop recommendation of the vaccine for healthy adults.
out of curiosity, are you a "so called pediatrician"?
What I am is someone who is capable of understanding scientific methodology, political motivation, and financial incentive.
The decision to vaccinate children was not based on science, in fact the best science available at the time recommended more study. It was based solely on politics and money.
Hmmm, maybe I should run for mayor.
I can see the headlines now;
"Mayor Payne Succeeded by Mayor Pain In The Butt."
