One of the teens charged in the fatal shooting of Jaydon Chavez-Silver in Albuquerque last summer pleaded guilty to lesser charges in the case Tuesday.

Nicholas Gonzales-Villasenor was indicted last August on first and second-degree murder and manslaughter charges, or their numerous alternatives.

Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to one count of shooting at a dwelling or occupied building with great bodily harm and conspiracy.

He had faced charges as a serious youth offender, but will no longer face the adult legal system since he will not be convicted of first-degree murder. He was arrested in the case in August, while he was already in custody on other charges.

He will be sentenced at a later date, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office told KOB.

Charges against two of Gonzales-Villasenor’s alleged accomplices – Donovan Maez and Christopher Cruz — were dropped in early June.The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office said at the time it did not have the evidence to proceed with their cases.

But District Attorney Kari Brandenburg did say at the same time she believed she had enough evidence to move forward in the cases against Gonzales-Villasenor and the fourth person charged in the case: Dominic Conyers.

Conyers was arrested in early March after police determined there were three shooters at the scene.

Chavez-Silver, 17, was killed at a party in northeast Albuquerque last June in a drive-by shooting.

A Metropolitan Detention Center inmate who escaped custody in downtown Albuquerque Wednesday morning killed himself in a Manzano home Wednesday evening, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department confirmed late Wednesday night.

The sheriff’s office issued a news release saying 48-year-old Larry Dohrn died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The release said Dohrn called deputies before they arrived and said he was going to kill himself. The homeowner could not confirm if Dohrn was dead, the sheriff’s office said, but once SWAT officers were able to enter the home, they found Dohrn dead.

The sheriff had previously been unclear about whether or not Dohrn was dead.

“Apparently he is in custody,” Bernalillo County Sheriff Manny Gonzales said at an evening news conference. “So this is resolved; he is in custody. He is at that residence.”

Dohrn was en route to court from MDC when he managed to escape his shackles and kick out the back window of the transport bus while on 6th Street near the railroad tracks around 7:40 a.m.

MDC spokeswoman Nataura Powdrell-Moore says a MDC officer tried to catch Dohrn on foot, but was unsuccessful. He carjacked a vehicle between 6th and 7th streets and escaped. The driver of that car got away unharmed as well.

Bernalillo County deputies recovered the stolen vehicle in an alley near 14th and Lead around noon. Dohrm’s MDC-issued pants were also found in a dumpster nearby.

At 6 p.m., state police officers and deputies from Bernalillo County were involved in a SWAT situation involving Dohrn near Manzano, which is north of Mountainair.

At the 8 p.m. news conference, Sheriff Gonzales said Dohrn was in custody. Deputies were tipped off he may have fled to the area.

Dohrn was set to appear in court at 8:45 Wednesday morning on a long list of felony charges stemming from an arrest in early April, including two counts of receiving or transferring stolen vehicles, altering engine or VIN numbers, two counts of fraud over $2,500 and two counts of forgery.

He was also being held for several other felonies stemming from a March arrest, including three counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, bribery of a witness and criminal damage to property.

He pleaded guilty earlier this year to a stolen vehicle charge from March 2015.

Sheriff Gonzales said at the news conference he had also previously escaped jail in Oklahoma.

The suspect in a carjacking murder that happened Wednesday night in southwest Albuquerque was shot and killed in a gun battle with police officers and sheriff’s deputies early Thursday morning.

The suspect was killed near Unser and Central after a pursuit that ended in an exchange of gunfire. The intersection reopened Thursday afternoon after being closed for more than 12 hours.

Deputies were dispatched to a shooting and carjacking at the Auto Zone in the 3200 block of Coors SW just before 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and found a man dead.

The man was identified Santiago Romero-Amaya, 64. He worked for years at Wood Moulding Specialties, Inc. and was a father and grandfather.

The suspect killed by police has yet to be identified, but was described after the carjacking murder as a small-framed, Hispanic man in his early 20s.

The suspect took Romero-Amaya’s car – a red Jeep Patriot – and fled the scene of the carjacking.

Deputies and police came upon him in the car early Thursday morning and pursued him as he fled.

At one point, a spike strip was successfully deployed, though Bernalillo County Sheriff Manny Gonzales said at a 2:30 a.m. news conference the suspect continued to drive.

Eventually, near Victory, a PIT maneuver was performed on the suspect’s vehicle. He stopped and exchanged gunfire with Albuquerque police officers and Bernalillo County sheriff’s deputies.

The stolen car the man was driving caught fire, and he was removed from the car, Sheriff Gonzales said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

An APD officer was shot in the chest during the shooting, but was hit in his bulletproof vest and sustained only bruising. The officer was taken to a local hospital and treated.

Sheriff Gonzales said BCSD is the lead on the incident but APD is involved as well. Officers and deputies had yet to be interviewed as of Thursday morning.

A captain with the sheriff’s department advised against anyone trying to fight for their car in the event of a carjacking.

“It absolutely could happen to anybody and my advice to the general public is if somebody wants your car, just give it to them. It is not worth your life,” said Cpt. Andi Taylor. “That’s not to say cowards like this won’t just shoot you anyway. But if you have the opportunity to give up the car, give up the car.”

The man Albuquerque police arrested Monday afternoon amid a false active shooting and hostage situation report crawled through a window in the city hall lobby and started yelling that there was a shooter in the building.

KOB cameras caught 28-year-old Daniel Olguin being led from City Hall in handcuffs Monday afternoon as SWAT teams swept the building.

He faces one charge of breaking and entering and two charges of false imprisonment – all felonies.

According to a criminal complaint for his arrest, Olguin was the initiator of the entire incident.

After officers were dispatched to the building when several people called 911 to report an active shooter, they came upon Olguin on the first floor – where one of the callers was hiding.

An officer wrote in his criminal complaint that he appeared to be under the influence of narcotics and was nervous.

One of the women who called police said they saw Olguin try and enter the lobby through a door, which was locked. So he instead crawled through a small security window at the customer service counter and began shouting that there was a shooter in the building.

The caller and another woman barricaded themselves behind a door and called police. At one point, Olguin came up to the door and asked if the doors were locked. The women would not leave the office, saying they feared for their lives.

After hours of sweeping the 11 floors and basement of the building, police gave the all-clear early Tuesday morning.

Olguin is being held on a $12,500 cash or surety bond at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

Albuquerque police have locked down the Albuquerque City Hall building due to what the department called a possible hostage situation, and SWAT teams are sweeping the building.

However, police spokesman Tanner Tixier said at a 7:25 news conference that there was “no confirmation” anyone in the building was being held hostage.

The sweep was ongoing as of 10 p.m.

The scene at 4th and Marquette began just before 6 p.m. The Albuquerque Police Department initially called the incident a “possible active shooter” situation.

But police said at 6:30 p.m. that there was “no evidence of an active shooter” and that officers were “trying to confirm if there’s an active hostage situation.”

At 6:45 p.m., APD spokesman Tanner Tixier said there was “no confirmation of an active shooter or that any shots were fired.” He said officers were trying to determine or confirm if there is a hostage situation.

One man has been detained in the incident and is being questioned, according to Tixier. He was seen being led out of City Hall by police by a KOB photographer. Tixier said there was no word yet on his role.

Another man was seen being led out of the parking garage in handcuffs not long after 7 p.m. Police said at a 7:25 p.m. news conference that the man will likely not be charged and was caught in “the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Tixier said it is “very possible” the threat could have been a hoax, saying everyone was on high alert after the terrorism incident in Orlando, Florida.

SWAT officers are sweeping the building floor-by-floor. Several people who had been trapped inside have since been released. Tixier said the sweeps were taking time because of the size of the building, which has 11 floors and a basement.

He said dispatch initially received calls there was a possible active shooter in the building’s basement and on the first and 10th floors.

Several city councilors were trapped on the ninth floor of the building while it was placed on lockdown. All are OK, City Councilor Pat Davis told KOB.

“This one seemed real,” Davis told KOB after he was led out of the building by SWAT officers.

There are numerous officers in the area that have surrounded Albuquerque City Hall. All residents and drivers are asked to avoid the downtown area.

KOB has several reporters and photographers at the scene.

This is a developing news story. Stay posted to KOB.com and KOB Eyewitness News 4 for the latest updates.

A man driving with a gunshot wound to his arm crashed into two vehicles on Central Ave. near Eubank Friday afternoon.

The crashes happened just before 5:30 p.m. Friday. Police say the driver was transported to UNMH and is expected to be OK.

A passenger in the vehicle the man was driving fled the scene of the crashes and the driver was uncooperative with police when asked when or why he was shot.

Police said they received a call about a shooting at the nearby Deluxe Inn around the same time the man crashed into the vehicles, but have not directly linked the two scenes at this time.

Police said the passenger was not located.

Rio Rancho police on Friday named the burglary suspect who was shot by a Rio Rancho homeowner early Wednesday morning as a 15-year-old Albuquerque boy.

Rio Rancho police say the boy has been identified as 15-year-old Shaquan Ketcham, of Albuquerque. He remains hospitalized in critical condition as of Friday, police said.

He faces aggravated burglary charges related to the robbery. Police said Friday they had confirmed Ketcham was armed with a handgun during the burglary.

Police say Ketcham was dropped off at Presbyterian Rust Hospital with gunshot wounds to his chest and that officers found evidence from the burglary still on his person.

KOB has learned his father was in jail on a child abuse charge.

Sifting through the young man’s recent family past may give quite a bit of insight into where Ketcham’s head was on Wednesday — the day police say he broke into that house.

KOB has learned Ketcham’s 34-year-old father, Howard Ketcham, was booked on a child abuse charge May 20. The victim of that alleged abuse is unclear, but the older Ketcham was still in jail Wednesday.

In fact, the older Ketcham was formally indicted by a grand jury on an open count of child abuse on Wednesday, likely within hours of the burglary and shooting allegedly involving his son.

According to jail records, the older Ketcham was released from jail Friday morning.

But visits to all five of the older Ketcham’s previously-known addresses in Albuquerque turned up nothing — many neighbors telling KOB the man and his son had moved around southeast Albuquerque neighborhoods.

The homeowner who fired on him may not be out of the woods. Police say it’s still under investigation whether that man did anything to warrant his own charges.

Howard Ketcham’s next court appearance on his child abuse charge hasn’t yet been scheduled, but KOB will be following his case.
