On September 3, 2021, at approximately 3:00 p.m., deputies from the Valencia County Sheriff's Office (VCSO) responded to a suspicious vehicle report on New Mexico State Road 6 near mile marker 19. Upon arrival, they encountered 28-year-old Jose Angel Baca, who fired at a deputy, striking him. Baca then fled the scene in a white Dodge pickup truck. A "be on the lookout" (BOLO) alert was issued, and VCSO deputies, along with New Mexico State Police (NMSP) officers, located Baca's vehicle and initiated a pursuit. The chase continued through Los Lunas, with Baca eventually crashing near the railroad tracks at State Road 314 and Davila Road. Baca exited the vehicle and began firing at law enforcement officers. In response, two VCSO deputies and one NMSP officer discharged their weapons, fatally wounding Baca. A VCSO deputy was injured by shrapnel during the exchange but was treated and released from the hospital. Baca was pronounced deceased at the scene. At the time of the incident, Baca had recently been released from probation for aggravated battery upon a police officer resulting in great bodily harm, battery on a household member, and resisting, evading, or obstructing an officer during arrest. The names of the officers involved were not released immediately following the incident.
