2 N.M. officers to be charged in man’s death

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Two New Mexico police officers will be charged with second-degree murder in last year’s shooting death of a homeless man near a tent in the mountains where he had been camping, a special prosecutor said Monday.

James Boyd was killed during a standoff after video showed him appearing to surrender. It sparked angry demonstrations in Albuquerque, with protesters calling for reform after several deadly police shootings.
