Two Albuquerque police officers who shot and killed a mentally ill homeless camper last year have been charged with murder.
The encounter was caught on video that appears to show disproportionate use of force, although the Albuquerque Police Department continued to insist the shooting was justified for months following the incident.
Now the APD’s luck appears to have run out. Prosecutors have announced that two officers who fired lethal rounds into Boyd’s body, Keith Sandy and Dominique Perez, will be charged with murder.
