Deadly ABQ shooting investigated as justifiable homicide
March 31, 2021
Mar. 31—ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police are investigating a recent quadruple shooting that left one man dead as a justifiable homicide after they say the four men targeted had broken into the shooter's Albuquerque home and attacked him.

The March 27 shooting left Neil Green, 26, dead and injured Green's brother Vincent, 26, stepfather James Apodaca, 47, and friend Daniel Acosta, 26.

Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said the three injured men have been charged with aggravated burglary, aggravated battery with great bodily harm and conspiracy.

"The victim of the home invasion is not being charged with a crime at this point," he said.

According to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court:

Officers responded to the incident around 1:15 a.m., when a man called 911 to report he had shot some people who attacked him at his apartment in the 5700 block of Eastern SE, near Gibson and San Pedro.

Police found Acosta wounded in the street nearby and Vincent and Neil Green injured outside an apartment. Neil Green had been shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. His brother and Acosta were taken to a hospital.

Apodaca showed up to the hospital soon after with a gunshot wound to his buttocks.

Officers found the shooter, his family and several small children inside the apartment. The gun he used was on the kitchen table and shell casings littered the ground.

Multiple people at the home said Neil Green had been there earlier with his girlfriend but left alone after the couple fought. They said sometime later Green and three other men forced their way inside and attacked the shooter before he opened fire.

The shooter told police when Neil Green left earlier, he had jumped off the balcony and hurt his leg. The man said he went to find Green to try to get him to a hospital. Instead, the two men got into an argument and Green told him, "I will see you again."

Later on, the man told police, there was a knock at the door before Neil Green and three others rushed in. He said Green put him in a chokehold as the others battered him with fists and a baton.

The man told police he began to lose consciousness and "was in fear for his life and the lives of his family" when he fought to get free. He said he got his gun from the bedroom and the men began attacking him again before he opened fire.

The man's girlfriend told police that, after the shooting, he began crying, saying he was sorry "but he had to protect himself and his family" and vomited.

At the hospital, Apodaca told police Neil Green called him and told him he had been beaten up and to pick him up. Apodaca said he picked up Vincent Green, Acosta and a woman to go "retaliate."

Apodaca told police he grabbed mace and Acosta grabbed a chrome bar before all four broke into the apartment and were shot.

Police: Man shoots, kills burglar at South Nashville home
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Police say they are classifying a deadly Nashville shooting as justifiable homicide after a man shot and killed a burglar in his home.

The call came in around 5:30 a.m. Wednesday at a home on Radnor Street, located just off of Nolensville Pike. The shooting happened at the back side of the home.

Metro Nashville police say a 72-year-old Henry Schuster came home after eating breakfast to find a kitchen window screen lying on the floor along with several other items. According to investigators, he drew a pistol and began searching each room of the home.

Police say he encountered 27-year-old Taylor Lowery in a bathroom. Schuster told police he shot Lowery when he lunged at him and tried to grab for the gun. Neighbors like Adam Troy had no idea the shooting even happened.

Troy said, “It’s very scary I can’t imagine what happened over there.”

Schuster ran outside and called 911. Lowery was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where he died.

Duplex neighbor Ron Honeycutt is glad his friend is okay. “Just last week my neighbor told me that his glove box had been torn out from the car.”

Ron said he plans on taking precautions.

“I do think I’m going to do some reinforcement on my door,” Honeycutt said.

As the district attorney reviews the case, neighbors are going to be more cautious of their surroundings. “This is a changing Nashville neighborhood for sure,” Troy said.

Officials said the completed case file will be sent to the District Attorney’s Office for final review.

Intruder shot by homeowner medically cleared, charged with three felonies
Unlimited digital access only $1/mo.!
A 22-year-old Wisconsin Rapids man who allegedly attempted to break into a home March 4 and was shot by the homeowner has received medical treatment and is now charged with three felonies.

According to the Juneau County Sheriff’s Office, Todd Parker, 22, of Wisconsin Rapids attempted to break into a home in Kingston and was shot by the homeowner. He was later flown by med-flight to the hospital, where he was treated and medically cleared.

Parker is now facing charges of felony first degree recklessly endangering safety, felony attempted burglary of a dwelling, felony bail jumping, and misdemeanors criminal damage to property, criminal trespass, and disorderly conduct.

If convicted, he could face up to 12 years and six months in prison or a fine of up to $25,000, or both, for the recklessly endangering safety charge; up to seven years and six months in prison or a fine of up to $25,000, or both, for the attempted burglary charge; and up to six years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000, or both, for the bail jumping charge.

According to the criminal complaint, multiple officers responded to a shooting at a residence on Thompson Street in Kingston at about 4 a.m. March 4. Juneau County Dispatch advised the officers that a man with a knife had attempted to break down the front door of the residence while threatening to kill the homeowner, and the homeowner then shot the intruder in the stomach and chest.

After arriving on scene officers found the man, later identified as Parker, half-naked lying on the floor of the porch of the residence. An officer administered first aid while waiting for medical assistance.

A deputy at the scene was told by Parker that “I gave them, I mentioned a 110% I was literally going to kill them if they did not shoot me,” and “I was not going to give them an option.” Asked why he wanted to be shot, Parker responded “because the mudpuppies are in me.”

At about 4:58 a.m., Sergeant Ryan Oswold from Monroe County arrived and spoke with an officer about the investigation. Oswald informed them he had contacts with both Parker and his cousin earlier in the evening.

Detective Jay Greeno met with the cousin, who told Greeno he had come to Parker’s nearby residence to talk. The cousin said Parker left the house but did not know in which direction, and he did not have a gun. A short time later he heard numerous gun shots.

Detective Ben Goehring interviewed the homeowner who shot Parker during the attempted burglary. The homeowner stated he arrived home from work and heard yelling outside the house. Parker’s clothing was found on Thompson Street, along with multiple live .22 long rifle rounds.

The homeowner said he came downstairs and found Parker standing in his kitchen, at which time he yelled at him and got Parker to leave. A few minutes later, Parker returned and banged on the door, threatening the homeowner with a knife and stating he would kill them. The homeowner asked his girlfriend to retrieve his handgun from the bedroom.

Parker was transported via medical helicopter to the hospital, where he was treated, guarded by deputies, and released into police custody. After he was released, Parker was interviewed by police.

According to Parker, he was using methamphetamine during the night of the incident. He stated he believed he was the target of a conspiracy, that family members might be involved, and someone sprayed meth on his truck.

He said he tried to get into a business in the area to attempt to use the phone, but was unsuccessful. He then traveled to the residence on Thompson Street. Parker said he believed the people in the home were part of the conspiracy to hurt him, so he left and went to his property.

While at his property, he “felt bugs crawling on his legs and getting into his blood stream,” so he took off portions of his clothes. He then returned the residence on Thomposn Street because he wanted them to shoot him as he had “mud puppies” in his blood.

Parker stated he remembered hitting the door and yelling that he was going to kill and rape them, though he felt bad about the rape portion because he “knows he is not a rapist.” He found a metal ring he used to break the window of the residence, at which time he was shot.

According to Parker’s statement, he “understood why he was shot and does not blame the residents of that home for doing what they did.”

Juneau County Judge Paul Curran set a $10,000 cash bond for Parker. He is next scheduled for an initial appearance March 25 at the Juneau County Justice Center.
