Suspect in APD officer’s shooting death indicted on federal weapons charges

The man accused of shooting and killing an Albuquerque police officer Oct. 21 was indicted by a federal grand jury Tuesday on four counts of violating federal firearms laws.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives filed a criminal complaint for the federal charges for Davon Lymon the day after the shooting. APD Officer Daniel Webster died from his injuries Oct. 29, nearly a week after the shooting.

Lymon is prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition due to his previous felony convictions of voluntary manslaughter, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fraud and forgery.

Counts 1, 2 and 3 of the indictment charge Lymon with possessing a firearm in late May. The fourth count charges him with possessing the firearm and ammunition the night he allegedly shot Officer Webster.

Police reportedly recovered six cartridges in the area where the officer was shot. The complaint filed Oct. 22 states they also recovered a semiautomatic pistol from a vacant lot in the area where Lymon allegedly fled as he left the scene of the shooting.

Lymon faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison on each count. He remains in federal custody pending his trial date, which has yet to be set.
