A vendetta over some stolen weed and property reportedly led to a Sunday evening shooting at 702 Julie Ct., in the Mossman neighborhood.
Whatever ax Julian Richard Giron had to grind with the man that supposedly made off with his pot and things, was unleashed on someone else's home.
Giron, 18, fired twice at the home of Frank Diaz with a 12-gauge shotgun sometime after 9 pm that evening.
He was taken into custody Monday evening and booked for shooting at an inhabited building, shooting from a motor vehicle, criminal damage to property and three counts of aggravated assault.
And this wasn't Giron's first time at the residence.
Diaz told Gallup Police Department officers that Giron and a friend came by on Jan. 3 looking for his nephew who had recently visited him during the holidays. He noticed that one of the men had an expandable baton in his lap, and the other had his hands down low by his side. He told the men to leave, and as they drove off one yelled, "we're going to get the f-c-er," the arrest warrant report states.
Shortly after this incident Diaz installed a security camera on his property. So, when Giron pulled his latest stunt on Sunday, it was caught on tape.
Giron admitted to the shooting during his interview with police, and how he "wished someone was hurt." He also said that the weapon used for the shooting was at 209 W. Lincoln Ave. Police secured a search warrant, and found both the weapon and narcotics while searching the residence. No details were given on a type or amount of drugs found.
Giron is being held at the McKinley County Adult Detention Center on a $15,000 cash only bond
