CNN reports:

A former Republican New Mexico House of Representatives candidate – who, police say, claimed election fraud after his defeat – was arrested by an Albuquerque SWAT team Monday in connection with a string of recent shootings at the homes of local Democratic elected leaders, city police said.

Solomon Peña, who lost his 2022 run for state House District 14, is accused of paying and conspiring with four men to shoot at the homes of two state legislators and two county commissioners, Albuquerque Police said.

“It is believed he is the mastermind” behind the shootings, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina said during a news conference.

Albuquerque’s ABC affiliate reports:



Pena served nearly seven years in prison after being convicted in 2008 of stealing a large amount of goods in a “smash and grab scheme.” Once he got out he knew what he wanted to do. “I got my B.A. in political science at UNM, and when the state of the nation declined, that’s what got me to run. Inflations at 9%,” Pena said.

In the latest shooting, police found evidence “Peña himself went on this shooting and actually pulled the trigger on at least one of the firearms that was used,” Albuquerque Police Commander Kyle Hartsock said.

However, an AR handgun he tried to use malfunctioned, the police statement said, adding more than a dozen rounds were fired by another shooter from a separate handgun.
