Modified Shotgun Linked to Alamogordo Police Officer Fatality
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Dominic Cruz De La O, 27, of Alamogordo, appeared in federal court on charges related to possessing an unregistered weapon made from a shotgun. The weapon, a modified 12-gauge shotgun with a barrel length of 16 inches and an overall length of 25.5 inches, was allegedly used in the shooting death of Alamogordo Police Officer Anthony Ferguson during a traffic stop on July 15, 2023. De La O will remain in temporary custody pending a detention hearing scheduled for Feb. 22, 2024.
On July 26, 2023, ATF agents received information implicating Jonah Apodaca, 32, of Alamogordo, in providing the modified shotgun to De La O. Apodaca appeared in federal court on charges of possession of a firearm by a felon on Feb. 12, 2024. Both De La O and Apodaca are facing serious charges, with De La O potentially facing up to 10 years in prison and Apodaca facing up to 15 years if convicted.
The investigation into this case involved cooperation between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Alamogordo Police Department, New Mexico State Police, and the Otero County Sheriff’s Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Maria Y. Armijo and Ry Ellison.
It’s important to note that a criminal complaint is merely an allegation, and defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
