Andy Lucero

How they died

Deadly force

At 7 a.m., state police were called to a home in Ft. Sumner in reference to the violation of a restraining order. Police say Lucero entered his ex-girlfriend's home, and they fought. During the fight, a friend of the ex-girlfriend's showed up to the home, and Lucero shot and wounded her. Lucero fled, and the search for him began. Police were alerted to a fire in Ft. Sumner where they found two structures and what they believed was Lucero's car on fire. From there, they found Lucero, and he was shot and killed. Details as to what precipitated the killings was withheld by police.
