[1] Albuquerque couple facing charges in 4-month-old's death – Victor Gonzales and Gabriella Muniz told investigators they fell asleep with their baby between them and when they woke up, their son was unresponsive. It is still unclear whether the child suffocated or overdosed, but meth and fentanyl were in the infant's system at birth. Both parents are now facing charges. Investigators said the child was on a CYFD safety plan due to being drug-exposed.
[2] Illegal fishing and dead animals reported at nature preserve ponds near Tingley Beach – Just a few feet off Paseo del Bosque Trial, near Tingley Beach, sit two wildlife ponds filled with fish, turtles and passing geese. For the past three years an anonymous citizen says she has seen people fishing in the ponds, despite the multiple signs that clearly state 'No Fishing.' The woman says she reported what she's seen to the city and APD's open space patrol. The City's Open Space Division said they are looking for volunteers to help patrol the area
[3] Less storms with hotter & drier air around New Mexico – A pattern of hotter and drier weather will start Wednesday. Isolated showers and storms will still pop up over the mountains and surrounding areas Wednesday afternoon, but the rain totals will be much lighter. Temperatures will be hotter Wednesday afternoon and even drier air will move into the state Thursday. Temperatures continue to heat up into this weekend. The hottest day will be Sunday and Monday next week. Parts of Albuquerque may hit 100° for the first time this year, with a stretch of triple-digit heat in southern New Mexico.
[4] Free drive-in movie experience coming to Balloon Fiesta Park – A free drive-in movie experience is coming to Balloon Fiesta Park thanks to a collaboration between the City of Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' will be shown on June 11 at Balloon Fiesta Park's east parking lot in Albuquerque. The event is part of the Summer of Nonviolence initiative to provide youth with fun and safe activities throughout the summer to keep them engaged and active. Gates open at 7 p.m., and the movie will start at 8:30 p.m.
[5] Military working dog is officially retired from Kirtland Air Force Base – Kirtland Air Force Base is sharing the moment one of its military working dog retired from service. KAFB says Hugo, a nine-year-old German Shepherd, has officially completed his tour of duty after serving seven years at the base. Hugo was a narcotics detection and patrol certified dog who completed more than 9,000 hours of work during his career. Officials say Hugo now lives with one of his former handlers, an airman now stationed in California.

Kick Streamer XenaTheWitch Arrested After Shooting Innocent Bystander With Paintball Gun
What should've been a harmless, free-for-all $30,000 Lady Bird Lake scavenger hunt in Austin turned into an actual crime scenario after Kick streamer Amaris 'XenaTheWitch' Sampson allegedly shot an innocent person in the thigh with a paintball gun. Yep, you read that correctly: the 29-year-old social media personality confused an onlooker with a participant, pulled the trigger, and found himself cuffed. Police verified the altercation took place sometime about 5:55 p.m. on August 9th along the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail. Sampson was booked into Travis County Jail as of Wednesday and now stands charged with two Class A misdemeanors: assault with bodily injury and deadly conduct. If convicted, she would face up to seven years in jail for a paintball splat. The Viral Video That Got Her Arrested The entire incident has been live-streamed and has gone viral since. During the course of the montage, pandemonium broke out: 'Adriana! That's a live worker you nearly killed.''Huh? Yeah, that's a work!''I don't give a f***.' Seconds later, one can hear the injured bystander utter: 'Yes, she f***** shot me. It was one of those girls.' As opposed to apologizing or even stopping, Sampson purportedly uttered more defiantly: 'I don't give a f**.' A Pattern of Recklessness If you are one who is used to XenaTheWitch's antics, this is far from breaking news. Her streaming career has been controversial: Her cameraman was accused in January of taking an Uber driver's phone while live on stream and tossing it under the driver's car. She stunned everybody in November of 2023 by pissing out of her bedroom window on camera, yes, for views. So the paintball debacle appears more like a predictable overextension of a streamer attempting to outdo herself from her previous prank instead of an accident. Community Reaction and Fallout The streaming community is split. Some are running to her defense, labeling it a 'misunderstanding in the course of an event,' while others are saying shooting unarmed civilians in public is not 'content,' it's against the law. The victim reportedly told police that she had been injured and in agony, and APD was extremely adamant that Sampson's actions were reckless and endangered others in the park. Salt in the wound, the event was even hosted by fellow streamer Paul 'Ice Poseidon' Denino, who is himself known for controversy. The scavenger hunt was set up as wild and high-stakes fun, but the 'stakes' ended up being a police record.
