Albuquerque, New Mexico — The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office released body camera and surveillance video from the Nov. 26 incident in the North Valley in which a deputy shot and killed 18-year-old Elijah Riche armed with an “AR-15 style pistol” and carrying a backpack full of guns. The incident unfolded after BCSO says Riche crashed a red SUV into other cars at the intersection of Edith and Montaño around 2 p.m. on November 26, 2021, the day after Thanksgiving. One deputy followed the suspect south on Edith for about a quarter of a mile, until Riche crashed into a fence at Edith and Nikanda. The suspect gets out of the vehicle, runs about 10 feet down from the vehicle, he stops, turns back around and arms himself with weapons from the vehicle, then starts running again. In the body cam video, another responding deputy, Ronald Perez, noticed Riche was armed with an AR-15 pistol and asked him multiple times to put it down. Riche turned back, and continued running toward other deputies with the gun still in hand. That’s when deputy Perez shot him one time. Riche was taken to the hospital, but did not survive his injuries. BCSO found four other guns in Riche’s car and backpack at the scene. BCSO said Riche had no criminal history as an adult but has a juvenile record.

  1. he accurately shots suspect from distance, facing busy road and between 2 of his fellow cop's car. absolutely GIGACHAD

  2. The obituary for Elijah Riche says "he was handsome, extremely smart, funny, outgoing and loving." Well, he didn't seem too smart in this video, nothing here was funny, but he was outgoing, as he went out with a bang.

  3. What a lazy department except for the officer that engaged the suspect. 1st officer obviously won't run and the other 2 had to be asked to assist.

  4. Makes a change seeing an officer who knows how to shoot, saw a vid a few years back several officers fired over a hundred rounds between them at a perp and all they managed to hit was another officer.

  5. I'm biased and would say the Glock did most of the work, but one hell of a shot Bernalillo County Deputy Ronald Perez! Hell of a shot!

  6. Wait you have to be 21 to buy a handgun…. So you’re telling me criminals don’t care about gun laws? 😱😱😱

  7. Officer not telling 2nd officer . That perp had a firearm could of possibly been bad news. Officer pulled up with in feet of perp with weapon in hand and on top of him being scared, not pursuing and allowing the responding officer . To go in first, oh. No I wouldn’t want that guy on my team !!
