Courtroom video shows the moment a murdr suspect was attacked during a hearing by his alleged victims uncle and stepfather on Friday, Jan. 31. Albuquerque police Alexander Ortiz, 21, was arrested last February in connection with the f@tal shooting of his ex-girlfriend, Alianna Farfan, police said in a news release. Ortiz was charged with first-degree murdr, which he pleaded not guilty to in March 2024, court records show. At a resumed hearing on Friday morning, Jan. 31, 2025, Ortiz was in a courtroom at the Bernalillo County Courthouse in Albuquerque for a plea hearing when he was attacked by the victim's family.  In the video, a man said to be the victim's uncle, jumps over the courtroom boundary separating members of the public from suspects and rushes for Ortiz, who tries to flee. Another man follows suit seconds later. A fight then breaks out with several people struggling and fighting as they roll around on the floor, including Carlos Lucero, Pete Ysasi, Ortiz, a corrections officer, Ortiz's father and a sixth unidentified man.  Lucero and Ysasi can be seen punching an unidentified man wearing jeans and a dark long-sleeved shirt, while the corrections officer tries to protect Ortiz.   The fight finally ends when the corrections officer pulls out his Taser. Court documents filed by the state of New Mexico in Metropolitan Court last week identified the men as Lucero and Ysasi. Deputies responded to the courtroom at around 9:30 a.m. following a dispatch report of an active fight. Lucero and Ysasi jumped over the courtroom gate, ran toward Ortiz and began punching him, court documents allege. They are also alleged to have injured the corrections officer protecting Ortiz.  During his arrest, Lucero referred to the victim, Farfan, as his niece. "He k!lled my niece like a coward," Lucero is alleged to have told the deputy who detained him. Lucero added that the fight was worth going to jail for. He said, "It was worth every moment." Watch the video below.   Family Attacks Murder Suspect in New Mexico Courtroom During a court hearing in New Mexico, chaos ensued when Carlos Lucero, the 40-year-old uncle of the victim, charged at Alexander Segura Ortiz, the 21-year-old accused of the murder, shouting, "He killed my niece like a pic.twitter.com/VdiUxg6tts Theinsidedrop (@theinsidedrop) February 4, 2025 The post Court session descends into chaos as murdr suspect is attacked by victim's family (photos/video) appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
