A 32-year-old Santa Fe man committed suicide Sunday night after a multi-hour standoff with Santa Fe County sheriff’s deputies, Sheriff Greg Solano said Monday.
The man first came to the attention of deputies about 5:20 p.m., when they were called to his mother’s home in the 300 block of Los Pinos Road for a domestic dispute, Solano said in a news release. The man allegedly slapped his mother, shot out the tire of her vehicle and broke all the vehicle’s windows in a dispute over a dog, the release states.
The man fled but was later located at his home at Cottonwood Village Mobile Home Park on Agua Fría Street. The man refused to leave his home and deputies believed he was armed and under the influence of narcotics, the release says.
After several hours of unsuccessful negotiations, deputies fired tear gas into the home “in order to induce surrender” and the man shot himself in the head, the release states. He was declared dead at the scene.
