"Arrests Made in Fatal Shooting of 11-Year-Old, Prompting New Mexico Gun Ban"

Two men, Jose Romero and Nathen Garley, were arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of an 11-year-old boy outside an Albuquerque baseball stadium. The shooting, which appeared to be a case of mistaken identity, prompted the New Mexico governor to issue a controversial gun ban. Romero was already wanted for drug dealing, while Garley was found with a gun and fentanyl tablets during a separate arrest. The suspects, reputed gang members, allegedly attacked a pickup truck leaving the game, killing the boy and leaving his cousin paralyzed. The shooting was linked to an ongoing feud with another man, and investigators used cellphone data and social media to track the suspects. The governor's gun ban was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.
