ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The Latest on the fatal shooting of an Albuquerque man involving U.S. marshals (all times local):
12:15 p.m.
The grandfather of an Albuquerque man shot and killed as federal marshals sought a murder suspect says the shooting was unjustified and the family was in the process of retaining an attorney.
New Mexico State Police say 23-year-old Edgar Camacho-Alvarado was killed Saturday after marshals went to a trailer park to arrest homicide suspect George Bond.
A spokesman for the U.S. Marshals office in Albuquerque has declined comment.
Juan Alvarado says law enforcement opened fire on his grandson Camacho-Alvarado as he was repairing his pickup truck outside the family’s trailer home.
The grandfather says shots also were fired as Comacho-Alvarado reached the trailer’s front stoop in an attempt to escape the gunfire.
Bond was arrested in the trailer park hours later.

New Mexico authorities have released the identity of an Albuquerque man who they say was fatally shot during a confrontation with a deputy U.S. marshal.
New Mexico State Police say the man killed Saturday morning was 23-year-old Edgar Camacho-Alvarado and say he was shot after deputy marshals went to a trailer park to arrest a homicide suspect.
Details of the shooting have not been released but authorities say Camacho-Alvarado was not the wanted homicide suspect, George Bond.
Bond was arrested in the trailer park several hours after the shooting. He is charged in the July 2014 death of a Los Lunas man and was spotted Friday in Albuquerque but evaded capture.
The State Police Investigations Bureau is investigating the shooting incident.
