Tuesday’s Five Facts
[1] VIDEO: Suspect speaks to police about shooting that killed 11-year-old – Daniel Gomez, one of the men accused in the murder of an 11-year-old boy shot and killed outside Isotopes Park. Daniel Gomez told police he, Nathan Garley and Jose Romero were at the baseball game in September of last year when Garley saw a group he had a dispute with. Garley is suspected to have shot at a truck believing rival gang members were inside. 11-year-old Froylan Villegas was killed and his cousin was left paralyzed.
[2] Bell times updated for APS elementary school near Sandia Park – Albuquerque Public Schools will be changing the bell schedule at San Antonito STEM Magnet Elementary School. Parents said they were told last week the first bell would shift from 8:30 a.m. to 7:20. Parents were not supportive of this change, and the school sent a letter to parents saying the district has fixed the issue with the school day now starting at 8:45 a.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m.
[3] Very warm & drier weather in the short term around New Mexico – As temperatures rise into the upper 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and lower triple digits across the region, some moisture in the air, along with the daytime heating, will still lead to some afternoon rainfall, but not as widespread in the Gila National Forest, but nearly as widespread once again in parts of the mountain ranges of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the Sacramento Mountains, as well as potentially around the northern Rio Grande Valley.
[4] LANL uses drones and AI to locate abandoned oil and gas wells – Los Alamos National Labs are using drones and artificial intelligence to track down oil and gas wells abandoned by companies. They hope to stop those wells from polluting the air and contaminating groundwater. The national lab said the oil and gas wells can be tricky to locate because many are covered with dirt and foliage.
[5] New Mexico chile farmers expect big harvest season, ‘best’ in years – Chile season is here in New Mexico and industry experts say they expect this to be the best harvest in years. Wagner Farm in Corrales says it and other growers across the state have been able to pick chile early this year, and those peppers are bigger than previous years, according to the New Mexico Chile Association. Experts say milder temperatures have created a perfect year for chile, and have been a relief to farmers.
