Weeks later, Griego got into a dispute with two men, and was slapped by one of them. This time, he pulled a gun from his waistband and shot both of them. Officers heard the gunfire and shot at Griego, killing him. A bystander was injured, likely by a stray bullet from officers, according to police. The Albuquerque Police Department at its headquarters on Friday provided details about the July 3 police shooting, naming the officers who opened fire and showing lapel video of the incident. Officers Preston Harris, Jed Jeffries, Diana Magallanes and Sgt. Ralph Rodriguez fired at Griego. None of them have been involved in a prior shooting. APD Chief Cecily Barker said the officers fired 16 rounds, and six of the bullets struck Griego. This year, Albuquerque police have shot seven people, five of them fatally. In a prerecorded video shown during the news conference, Cmdr. Ray Del Greco said Griego reported to police on June 20 that he had been pepper-sprayed while Downtown. Griego later posted a video of the altercation to his TikTok account, saying, "I'll be prepared this time, so they ain't gonna roll up on me like that."
