How they died
Suicide
Rex Michael Sherwood fired about 40 shots at tribal officers after a traffic stop and then fled into the surrounding countryside. Jicarilla Tribal Police then responded to the 64-Express Gas Station in Dulce in reference to a break-in. A witness described the suspect as a tall, thin man, in a blue jacket and backpack carrying a rifle. Jicarilla Tribal Police, New Mexico State Police responded and surrounded the building. Shots were fired from within the building at officers, and two State Police officers and one Jicarilla officer returned fire. A short time later, police sent a robot in and found Sherwood dead of a gunshot.
