| Greg Benner |
Rio Rancho is a city of over 90,000 and is part of the Albuquerque Metropolitan area.
Greg Benner was nicknamed "Nigel" by many of his friends.
Greg was just about at the end of his shift and was making a traffic stop on a city street at approximately 8:15 pm. Two occupants of the vehicle, a man and a woman, fled the scene and Greg pursued them for a short distance when one of the subjects opened fire, striking Greg. The vehicle fled again.
Greg was rushed to a nearby hospital where tragically he died of his injuries.
One of the suspects was arrested later in the night and one still remains at large.
