Rio Rancho, New Mexico — A former police officer in New Mexico was charged Thursday with second-degree murder after authorities said he killed a Latino detainee he had placed in a chokehold. State Attorney General Hector Balderas said he filed the charges against former Las Cruces police officer Christopher Smelser in the death of Antonio Valenzuela.
Police say Smelser applied the chokehold after a foot chase in February after Valenzuela fled during a traffic stop.
After the chase, Smelser can be heard on police video saying, "I'm going to (expletive) choke you out, bro."
