Dear Requester,

My office will close out your public records request dated October 26, 2019 (identified as #19-7260), which sought copies of the following records:

We cannot permit inspection of any records related to this incident because it is an ongoing investigation and the records are exempt under the Inspection of Public Records act as confidential law enforcement records. See NMSA 1978, § 14-2-1(D)(1) (confidential law enforcement records); see also § 14-2-1 (H) (otherwise provided by law) including, but not necessarily limited to NMSA 1978, § 29-10-1 et seq. (Arrest Record Information Act). If made public the requested records would seriously interfere with the effectiveness of a criminal investigation or prosecution. Additionally, if produced those records could still compromise witness testimony as well as the integrity of the case. Right now my office is unsure how long the incident will remain under investigation, however, you are welcome to submit a new public records request for the same records at a later date. Additionally, you are also welcome to call my office and ask for an update on this investigation.

My office will close out your request. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

Sincerely,

Nyvia Barraza
