Officials say they are trying to determine if contributions to the failed political candidate's campaign were funneled by drug trafficking.
detectives and other law enforcement agencies are trying to determine whether financial contributions to Pena's campaign were "generated from narcotics trafficking and whether campaign laws were violated.”But a man who police have said was allegedly involved, Jose Trujillo, donated more than $5,000 to Pena's campaign and that man's mother also donated about $4,000 to the campaign, officials said.
A lawyer listed for Trujillo in a federal complaint did not immediately respond to requests for comment Friday. Pena is in custody, awaiting a Jan. 23 hearing. Prosecutors have called him a danger to the community are have said he should not be released ahead of trial. The first shooting happened Dec. 4 at the home of Bernalillo County Commissioner Adriann Barboa. In the following days, a shooting occurred outside the home of new state House Speaker Javier Martinez. On Dec. 11, the home of then-Bernalillo Commissioner Debbie O’Malley was struck by more than a dozen bullets, police said.
Lopez’s home was targetted in early January, and three bullets went through the bedroom of her 10-year-old daughter. No one was injured.
