APD officers accused of murdering James Boyd booked, released

The two Albuquerque police officers charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of James Boyd last year were booked and released from jail Monday and Tuesday.

Dominique Perez was booked Monday morning just after 8 a.m. on second-degree murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges.

Former officer Keith Sandy was booked Tuesday morning around 7:30 on second-degree murder and aggravated battery with great bodily harm charges.

Perez was released Monday and Sandy was released Tuesday. Each spent little time in jail.

Sandy listed his home address as the Albuquerque Police Officers Association, while Perez listed his as APD Main.

Monday, a judge set their trial dates for Aug. 15, 2016. The trial is expected to last three weeks. Sandy’s attorney said he will seek a change of venue for the trial, as the case has received major attention in the Albuquerque media market.

They both pleaded not guilty to the charges at their arraignment last Friday.
