- His mother faces murder and other charges.
- Her lawyer disputes that she instructed him to shoot.

## Summary

A 16-year-old girl, Keinerlein Rangel, was fatally shot by her 10-year-old neighbour after a Halloween-night argument over loud music escalated into a fight outside their Albuquerque apartments. The boy’s mother, Elaina Gomez-Villeda, is charged in connection with the shooting; police testimony described her warning neighbours that her son was going to shoot someone and saying “get the gun” in security footage.

Prosecutors have charged Gomez-Villeda with murder and several other offences, including child abuse and negligently making a firearm accessible to a minor. Her lawyer says the boy took the gun after Gomez-Villeda was attacked and that she did not tell him to shoot. A judge ordered her held in jail, citing the danger to the community and the child’s ability to handle a revolver; the boy has not been charged while prosecutors review the case.
