LOS LUNAS, N.M. (AP) - Authorities say three teenagers shot and killed three people at a home near Los Lunas because they were kicked out of a party.
KOB-TV in Albuquerque reported Monday that a criminal complaint details a motive for the triple homicide that occurred over the weekend.
According to the complaint, 18-year-old Brandon Dowdy, 19-year-old Robert Wilson and a 17-year-old boy were attending a party hosted by Dowdy’s co-worker.
Valencia County sheriff’s officials say the three suspects were told to leave after they got into an altercation with others.
The complaint states they left but returned with a shotgun.
Deputies say 40-year-old Darren Bernal and 28-year-old Nathan Morrison from Belen and 29-year-old Joseph Santiago, from Albuquerque, were killed.
The three suspects are in custody.
