How they died
Deadly force
A woman was found shot to death, and the Albuquerque Police Department identified her estranged husband, Matthew Montoya, as the suspect. Montoya then went to his child's school to check his child out of class. School officials refused to let the child go. Three detectives and an officer used GPS to track Montoya's minivan to a driveway in a neighborhood. Montoya was in the back of the van and allegedly pointed a gun at the police. When he refused orders to drop the weapon, the three detectives and the officer shot and killed him.
