Rape kit backlog measure passed ALBUQUERQUE — The Albuquerque City Council has approved a measure that could help clear a backlog of untested sexual-assault evi- dence kits. The bill establishes a team to monitor the city’s efforts and calls for a study of whether Albuquerque is pay- ing its forensic scientists enough. It also directs city executives to work with local colleges to create incentives to encourage stu- dents to study forensic sci- ence. There are currently nearly 4,000 untested rape kits in police custody. The measure passed Wednesday outlines a series of deadlines for the Albuquerque Police Department to send kits to the lab and have them tested. It’s estimated that it will take about $1.2 million a year for five years to address the backlog. Officers cleared of wrongdoing LAS CRUCES — Two Las Cruces police officers have been cleared of wrong- doing in connection to a fatal shooting last month. The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that prosecutors on Thursday announced that Sgt. Cody Austin and Officer David Rodriguez were justi- fied under the law when they shot and killed 36-year-old Joshua Dunne. According to police, offi- cers were dispatched to Dunne’s residence on Dec. 2 after a relative reported Dunne was possibly suicidal and could be armed. Officers began looking for Dunne and found his vehicle parked at a hotel where he had rented a room. Police say they tried to negotiate with Dunne for several hours before a SWAT team was brought in. They say Dunne remained uncooperative and refused to leave the room before shots were fired.
