Man threatened 'another El Paso' in Santa Fe
SANTA FE — A Santa Fe man recently threatened to start another “El Paso” in Santa Fe, referencing the recent Texas shooting that claimed 22 lives.
Moises Ortiz Jr. III also threatened to “start a war” in Santa Fe, and said he was willing to “get rid” of drug dealers and homeless people in the city, according to court documents.
Ortiz has been charged with one count of assault with intent to commit a felony on a peace officer and one count of using a telephone to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend for making threats toward the Santa Fe Police Department on Aug. 6 over the handling of his sister’s apparent overdose death.
Ortiz’s 16-year-old nephew, Isaiah Vigil, also is charged in the case, for making a bomb scare and assault with intent to commit a violent felony on a peace officer, after he allegedly threatened to attack SFPD headquarters with explosives and a gun.
