A man in the US state of New Mexico has pleaded guilty to helping a defeated Republican candidate carry out drive-by shootings at the home of Democrats.
The defendant, Demetrio Trujillo, says the candidate, Solomon Peña, hired him after failing to win a seat in the state legislature in November 2022.
Over the following weeks, the residences of several Democratic officials were attacked in Albuquerque.
No surprise that he’s a Trump supporter who, after losing an election by 50%, said it was ‘rigged’ and he didn’t accept the results and wouldn’t concede.
Unlike Trump, he’s not rich and famous enough to get away with murder.
They only have the shooter now. We’ll see if the pos Republican that hired him gets a slap on the wrist or jail. Hell, in AZ they might not even ban him from politics.
They have Pena. The shooter was driving his car when he was arrested with a gun matching the shells at the scene. Or something along those lines. Or a has been in jail for over a year and will remain there pending trial.
