Authorities say a man who fatally shot another man during a confrontation at a car wash in Albuquerque will not be charged with a crime.
Bernalillo County District Attorney Raul Torrez said Friday that there was not enough evidence to obtain a conviction of James Morales.
Morales claimed he shot 59-year-old Earl Roybal on March 26 in self-defense. Torrez called the death a tragedy that never should have happened but said he lacks evidence to convict given the self-defense claim. |

I can't find the surveillance video but from the descriptions I found, it sounds like Roybal was wiping his bike down in the bay, Morales drove up and told him to clear out so he could use the bay, Roybal approached Morales to tell him to piss off, words were exchanged, punches were exchanged, and Morales shot Roybal, claiming Roybal threw the first punch and that Roybal said he had a gun (he did, but he apparently wasn't the type to draw a gun in a fistfight).
Sounds to me like either of them could have avoided the violence by choosing not to be an ****. |
