Orlando Astorga.
Okay: he shouldn’t have stolen the shovel.
That’s gypsy-tier behavior.
Killing him for it though was probably a little bit excessive.
Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputies have arrested a driver for Santa Fe Tow company who is suspected of shooting and killing a man who stole a shovel from the company’s North Valley property Monday night.
Orlando Astorga, 44, is charged with murder. He was booked into the county jail.
When reached by phone Tuesday, an employee for Santa Fe Tow told the Journal the owner couldn’t comment, saying, “We’re running a business and don’t have time for any of that.”
According to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court, shortly before 9 p.m. a woman called 911 to report her boyfriend, Jasen Mulvaney, had been shot in the chest. She said they were at Alameda and Fourth NW.
Mulvaney was taken to the hospital, where he died.
