A New Mexico lawmaker says the suspect in the shooting confronted her outside her home: “He was definitely aggressive.”

Solomon Peña, a former Republican candidate for the New Mexico State House of Representatives who is accused of orchestrating multiple shootouts in the homes of Democratic lawmakers after he lost his race, is facing multiple criminal charges ahead of his first scheduled court appearance. No one was hurt in any of the shootings.

Peña was arrested Monday on four counts of shooting at a dwelling or occupied building, shooting at or from a motor vehicle, and conspiracy to commit a felony, and one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful incitement to criminal responsibility. He was also charged with one count of “obtaining, transporting or possessing firearms or destructive devices by certain persons.”

Peña, who is in custody at the Albuquerque Metropolitan Detention Center, has orchestrated a series of shootings at the homes of four Democratic deputies in Albuquerque since early December, according to Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina. Peña hired four associates to shoot at the homes of two state lawmakers and two county commissioners, Medina told reporters at a news conference on Monday.

Another suspect was taken into custody on January 9, but it is not clear if he is an accomplice in the case.

Police said Peña falsely claimed that his own race, which he lost in a November landslide to incumbent Democratic Rep. Miguel P. Garcia, was “rigged.”

Mayor Tim Keller called Peña, who ran on the Make America Great Again platform, a “radical right” and “election denier” and “a person who has done the worst thing imaginable when you have political differences.” that turns to violence.”

Adrianne Barboa, one of the elected officials who police say was targeted by Peña and his associates, said Peña ran into her at her home shortly after the election. As Bernillo County Commissioner, she was involved in the process of certifying votes in the elections. On Tuesday, Barboa told CBS News that Peña told her not to confirm the election results.

“He said, ‘I need results now,’ and he was definitely aggressive,” Barboa said.

Later in December, Barboa was returning home from Christmas shopping when she found gunshots.

“My house was shot right through the front door, four times, through the back window, right through my living room and kitchen, right where I was playing with my new grandson just a few hours ago,” Barboa said.

No one was hurt in the shooting at Barboa’s house, or at any other crime scene. In one case, the 10-year-old daughter of a state assemblyman woke up to bullet fragments falling on her bed, but was not physically hurt. According to the police report, Peña was unhappy with these results and asked his accomplices to “shoot at the houses below and do it earlier in the evening … when it is unlikely that the targets would lie.”

House Speaker Javier Martinez, another official who police said was the target of the shooting, said the events of the past month reminded him of the violence in Mexico, where he was born.

“(Mexico) is a place where politics and journalism can really kill you,” Martinez said. “I would never have thought that this could be in my own country, here.”
