[1] Bus passenger shot and killed in Taos County – A shooting in Taos County left a passenger of a bus dead. The Taos County Sheriff's Office says while the North Central Regional Transit District Bus waited outside the Rancho de Taos Post Office two men came up to the vehicle and fired shots through the window. Leroy Rodriguez, 40, died from his injuries; the driver and two other passengers who were on board at the time were not injured. The Taos County Sheriff's Office said a potential suspect vehicle has been located.
[2] Curry County Sheriff explains why his department is partnering with ICE – The Curry County Sheriff's Office is explaining its decision to partner with the Department of Homeland Security to crackdown on illegal immigration. The goal of the program is to serve and execute administrative warrants on illegal aliens in the county jail. Before an inmate at the Curry County Detention Center is released, if ICE puts a warrant out for their arrest, the trained deputy would make the arrest.
[3] More storms followed by hotter and drier air around New Mexico – Another round of showers and storms will develop Tuesday afternoon, with more storms in southern and southeastern New Mexico. Southeastern parts of the state will also likely see severe weather in the afternoon and evening with large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rainfall possible. Storms will move out of the state late Tuesday night.
[4] Cities in New Mexico work to repair potholes – With more wet weather in recent weeks, road conditions are worsening around New Mexico. The City of Albuquerque says their crews repaired roughly 950 potholes last month. Most pothole repairs come through 311 requests and the city reminds drivers they can't fix the problem if they don't know about it. Street maintenance officials say most potholes occur because of weather. Santa Fe recently kicked off a week-long event called Pothole Palooza, quadrupling crews to get roughly 800 potholes filled through Friday.
[5] ABQ BioPark welcomes Sumatran orangutan – There's a new face at the ABQ BioPark. The male Sumatran orangutan named Elok, who is 24 years old, recently moved to the BioPark from the Oklahoma City Zoo. The move was recommended by the orangutan species survival plan. Elok joins Sarah, Rubi, Pixel, and Bulan in the new Asia habitats. Right now, he is acclimating to his new environment and will be introduced to the other orangutans in the future.
