New Mexico police officer dies following traffic stop shooting
A police officer from northwestern New Mexico has died, several days after being critically injured when a man opened fire during a traffic stop. Law enforcement agencies gathered Sunday to escort the body of Bloomfield Police Officer Timothy Ontiveros from an Albuquerque hospital, where he had undergone multiple surgeries over recent days, to the office of the state medical investigator. A procession back to Bloomfield will be held Tuesday. Ontiveros had pulled over a man for a traffic violation on Memorial Day. Authorities said the man refused to roll down his window or provide identification. After negotiations failed, officers opted to arrest him and broke a window to take him into custody. The man subsequently began shooting, hitting Ontiveros and narrowly missing a second officer at the scene. That officer returned fire, striking and killing the suspect. Authorities said the man had a record that included previous arrests for assault, trespassing, resisting an officer and threatening hospital staff. Ontiveros, 33, previously worked for the Farmington Police Department and was a volunteer firefighter for the neighboring community of Aztec. A GoFundMe page was set up to help his family. 'In his short time with the agency, he demonstrated kindness, professionalism, and dedication to the safety of the community he served,' Bloomfield Police Chief Phillip Francisco said Sunday in a social media post. Ontiveros had joined Bloomfield police in December. Francisco asked for the community's support as the department navigated what he called a tremendous loss. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham also mourned the loss of the officer. 'His death is a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers our law enforcement officers face every single day,' she said in a statement Sunday.

Kate Moss 'snubbed best pal Fat Tony's star-studded wedding to Stavros Agapiou after discovering her former friend Fran Cutler was also attending the lavish ceremony'
Kate Moss reportedly chose to skip her best pal Fat Tony's star-studded wedding, after learning her former friend Fran Cutler was on the guestlist. Tony, 58, tied the knot with his partner Stavros Agapiou, 32, in front of family and friends in a lavish ceremony at the Welsh Chapel on Saturday, followed by a fun-filled reception bash at the Londoner Hotel. And a huge array of famous faces were in attendance for the couple's special day including TOWIE 's Gemma Collins, Coronation Street 's Claire Sweeney, Davina McCall and Boy George. However, missing from the action was Tony's pal of over three decades, Kate, 51, who was thought to be set to be a bridesmaid at the ceremony. According to reports, the supermodel snubbed the nuptials after discovering former Primrose Hill bestie, Fran, 62, was going to attend. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Tony, 58, tied the knot with his partner Stavros Agapiou, 32, (seen together) in front of family and friends in a lavish ceremony at the Welsh Chapel on Saturday, followed by a fun-filled reception bash at the Londoner Hotel In the 1990s, Fran was known as the 'party Rottweiler' for the likes of Kate and Sadie Fros, as she would organise hedonistic gatherings for them, while refusing to admit anyone who she deemed not important enough to join them. The PR supremo and the catwalk star were close friends for more than 20 years, until a spectacular falling-out in 2018. Fran inadvertently sent an unflattering image of Kate, accompanied by critical comments about her looks, to Kate herself, with a source at the time explaining: 'She meant to send her observations to a friend.' Kate was far from amused, resulting in Fran being cut out of the model's friendship circle. And it seems that the fashion icon is still not over her former friend's actions, with The Sun reporting that she pulled out of Tony's big day upon learning of Fran's invite. A source told the publication: 'Kate snubbing Fat Tony's big day was the talk of the wedding. He wanted to have Kate there as he married his partner Stavros Agapiou. 'But after she found out Fran was going, she said she couldn't make it. Tony is said to have known for a while that Kate wouldn't be going if Fran was. 'She was really missed and the guests were talking about it. Fran was on great form but didn't say anything about it. It's all rather sad that they couldn't put on brave faces to celebrate Tony's big day.' MailOnline have contacted representatives for both Fat Tony and Kate for comment. Fat Tony - whose real name is Tony Marnach - has been best pals with Kate since 1993, previously lauding her as 'incredible'. Speaking to MailOnline in 2022, the DJ praised the stunner for turning her life around from her notorious party girl youth, saying: 'It's about finding that inner happiness, and she's found it. What Kate's done with that is brilliant. 'Even the fact that she's bringing out a wellness range just show's you where she's at in life and how well she's done.' The hitmaker then sweetly gushed: 'She'll always be one of my best friends, she's an incredible person'. Ahead of his nuptials, it had been reported that Kate would be one of Tony's bridesmaids alongside reality star Gemma, 44, and soap star Claire, 54, while Tony previously revealed that he wanted Boy George as his best man. A source told The Sun: 'Tony is one of the most popular people on the London celebrity circuit and his wedding is going to be packed full of stars. 'No one had Kate, Gemma and Claire in a bridal party on their bingo cards this year, though. It's going to be incredible to see them lining up together.' They added: 'Tony and Stavros have put a lot of thought into their big day and it's going to be one to remember. As for having Kylie singing at their evening do, it's iconic.' The glitzy guest list also included Kelly Osbourne, Jaime Winstone and EastEnders stars Patsy Palmer and Jessie Wallace. Tony and Stavros looked more handsome than ever on their special day in contrasting suits, as they exchanged their vows. Tony was among the first to arrive at the chapel, cutting a very dapper figure in an all-black suit featuring a silver brooch, while Stavros arrived not long after in an all-white look, which was made up of a blazer, waistcoat and quirky shorts. Tony was joined by his mother Dawn Marnoch and longtime friend Boy George, who he'd previously revealed he had asked to be his best man. The couple have been engaged since October 2023, after Tony got down on one knee to propose in front of a fountain in Central Park. Sharing the intimate moment on Instagram at the time, he penned: 'When you find real happiness in life never let it go today I can truly say I'm the happiest I've ever been. 'I went to Central Park to this magical fountain and asked the man that has changed my life in so many ways and helped show me that I can be loved and how too love to marry me and make me complete and he said YES I'm so overwhelmed with joy.'
