Cops in New Mexico have arrested a failed GOP candidate in connection with multiple shootings at local Democrats' homes.
Albuquerque PD took Solomon Peña into custody Monday, and the police chief says he believes Peña is the"mastermind" of 4 separate shootings that occurred between Dec. 4 and Jan. 3.
In each instance, police say Democratic politicians were targeted -- including the Bernalillo County Commissioner, the State House Speaker, a former county commissioner and a state senator. Cops claim they have evidence directly tying Peña to the scene of the latest shooting.For the other incidents, ADP claims Pena hired at least 4 men to carry out the shootings. Police also say they believe this was politically motivated.
Peña ran for a state House seat in 2022, but lost by a landslide to a Democrat. Up until recently, he'd been denying the results ... claiming he's the victim of election fraud. If that sounds familiar -- the answer to your question is yes, he's a staunch supporter of former President Trump.Trump just announced for 2024. I stand with him. I never conceded my HD 14 race. Now researching my options.
