SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) The trial of a Santa Fe woman accused of firing a gun into her neighbor’s yard, killing a young man, is set to begin this week.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports that 65-year-old Beverly Melendez was found competent to stand trial for one count of second-degree murder.
According to prosecutors, Melendez, angry over her neighbor’s house party, grabbed a .22-caliber rifle and got up on a stool.
She opened fire over a wall separating them.
Authorities say one bullet struck 19-year-old Rodrigo Enriquez-Garay in the back. He was taken to the hospital by his family and later died.
