In Valencia County, New Mexico, just after noon on December 18th, 2024, deputies were dispatched to what sounded like a desperate call for help from a man reporting he had just been shot. As officers raced toward the scene, the victim, bleeding heavily, was already fleeing in his vehicle trying to stay alive long enough to reach help. But what deputies would soon uncover was far more than a single shooting. Put your hands up. Are you shot? Do you have any weapons? Okay. 533 Central just for 49.

Uh left hand side on Eventually, officers located and began treating John Miramontes, the man who had called 911 reporting he'd been shot in the chest while desperately driving himself to safety. Medics quickly took over rushing him to the hospital to assess the severity of his injuries. But while John fought to survive, deputies still had one critical task ahead, locating and detaining the shooter. And that would prove to be far more difficult than anyone expected. Sheriff's office, anyone inside, make yourself known or I'll send in the dog. Officers decided to deploy a canine unit first using the dog to sweep and clear the area ahead ensuring there were no hidden threats that could put them in danger.

While the suspect had barricaded herself in the farthest room of the home. Eventually, the suspect was identified as Amy Ruth Pendleton, the woman responsible for shooting two people that day. One of those victims, John Miramontes, survived his injuries after being rushed to the hospital. But tragically, the other man found inside the trailer, George Izquierdo, had already died from his gunshot wound long before officers arrived on scene.
