How they died

Deadly force

Dona Ana County Sheriff's Deputies say they got two different 911 calls from residents reporting a blonde woman wearing blue jeans and a top on their property. Several officers, including sheriff's deputies, a reserve deputy and an officer from the Mesilla Marshal's office approached the shed the woman was in. Police said she came out of the shed with an ax and came toward the reserve deputy who then shot and killed her.
