ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – From Albuquerque to Bernalillo, Cuba to San Juan County. A procession of officers escorted Bloomfield Police Officer Timothy Ontiveros on his final trip home.
Ontiveros died Sunday after being shot during a traffic stop on May 26. Another officer killed the driver.
A procession left the Office of the Medical Investigator in Albuquerque around 10 Tuesday morning. They traveled along I-25 to Highway 550 for the trip north to San Juan County.
All along the route, people paid their respects to an officer who lost his life in the line of duty.
“It’s just sad. We always support the police officers, firefighters, because they do a lot for the community. They protect us,” said Jeannie Poncho, a San Juan County resident.
New Mexicans waved American flags along the route.
“Just to show respect to a hero that protects our community, and that we all love all our towns, Farmington, Bloomfield, Aztec. He served all of those towns,” said Audrey Gordon, another San Juan County resident.
In Bloomfield, Ontiveros received a hero’s welcome with hundreds of people along the processional route.
“You could tell people loved Tim by the looks of the crowd out here,” said Felipa Valencia, Ontiveros’ relative. “We love him, and we’re going to miss him.”
The Canyon Venado Fire has grown to 852 acres east of Clines Corners and crews say wind farms in the area are threatened.
CLINES CORNERS, N.M. – The Canyon Venado Fire has grown to 852 acres east of Clines Corners and crews say wind farms in the area are threatened.
The fire is burning just east of Clines Corners, south of Interstate 40.
It forced the closure of eastbound Interstate 40 at Clines Corners on Tuesday night. I-40 reopened Tuesday night. I-40 is back open but smoke still affects visibility.
“We’re on the side of I-40 so drivers have to be pretty cautious. As far as our establishment itself we’re pretty isolated by the freeway itself as a nice fire break,” said Lincoln Tarantino, Clines Corner general manager.
The fire has burned around 852 acres, up from just 20 at this time Monday.
Crews say the fire is not contained and wind farms in the area are threatened.

Feds allowed millions of fentanyl pills to ‘walk’ on New Mexico streets: DEA Whistleblower
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Seniors at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center say broken air conditioning has left the gym above 80 degrees during peak summer heat.
Angi Gonzales Carver said she goes to the center almost every day and now worries the heat could cancel classes for seniors, adults and kids.
The city said three HVAC roof units at the center need replacement. The city said those units are 20 years old and crews have put in one portable cooler and two fans for now.
“I have a temperature measure, and it was 88 and that was without people,” said Angi Gonzales Carver.
Carver says the center recently posted a warning sign saying staff will cancel classes and activities if the gym gets hotter than 78 degrees.
“A lot of them have to sit down and they’re they’re fanning themselves,” said Carver.
The city considers all multigenerational centers cooling centers, including Manzano Mesa. The city says it plans to add two more portable units next week while it works to restore the air conditioning.
“I mean, we, as seniors, we deserve better,” said Carver.
The City’s statement
A city spokesperson gave the following statement regarding the HVAC situation:
“The City is carrying out a planned replacement of the three HVAC roof units at Manzano Mesa Multigenerational Center, which are 20 years old. Portable cooling units support the gym and two additional portable units will be installed next week. All other areas of the facility remain fully air-conditioned and operational.”
