Uncle Takes Matters into His Own Hands
In a dramatic turn of events at a New Mexico courtroom, the uncle of murder victim Alianna Farfan, Carlos Lucero, physically attacked the suspect, Alexander Ortiz. The incident, captured on camera, showed Lucero jumping over a barrier and charging at Ortiz, resulting in a physical altercation.
Ortiz is accused of killing his ex-girlfriend, Alianna Farfan, who was found shot dead in her bedroom. A week later, Ortiz allegedly murdered another woman. The motive behind the attacks remains unclear.
Lucero stated that he wanted to bring 'street justice' to Ortiz, whom he described as a coward for killing his niece. Despite the security guards present, they were unable to intervene immediately, leading to Ortiz sustaining injuries to his face.
The incident, which took place on Friday, was recorded by surveillance cameras. The potential legal consequences for Lucero and the other man involved in the attack are yet to be determined, as they may face charges of assault.
