The penalties donât increase on count one, the theory of the charges changes,â Patscheck said.</p> 521<p>Silvaâs case has been pending since his Aug. 20, 2024, arrest, which came a day after he allegedly fired more than 50 rounds at New Mexico State Police Officer Andrew Blea.</p> <div class="herald-ad herald-ad--leaderboard" aria-label="Advertisement" role="complementary"> 522 <div id="div-gpt-ad-art-body1" 523 data-gpt-slot="art-body1"> 524 </div> 525 </div> 526 527<p>Silva was pulled over for a routine traffic stop at 7:32 p.m. Aug. 19, 2024, in the area of Pinon Hills Boulevard and West 30th Street.

Upon his arrest, San Juan County sheriffâs deputies discovered the decomposing body of Silvaâs uncle, Carlos Silva, in the home, according to court records.</p> 532<p>Carlos Silva died from an apparent gunshot wound to the head, and homicide charges have been pending, as the investigation continues, according to San Juan County Sheriff Shane Ferrari.</p> <div class="herald-ad herald-ad--leaderboard" aria-label="Advertisement" role="complementary"> 533 <div id="div-gpt-ad-art-body2" 534 data-gpt-slot="art-body2"> 535 </div> 536 </div> 537 538<p>Silva was set to enter a plea agreement, June 4, but Gurley rejected the plea, which the <em id="emphasis-f49253a5d513379e1ffcfa746e1736f5">Tri-City Record</em> attempted to obtain through Inspection of Public Record Act requests.</p> 539<p>However, the court denied the request, citing a New Mexico Supreme Court ruling that said plea negotiations were not subject to public inspection.</p> 540<p>After the plea was rejected Patscheck requested a bench trial, but in light of the new charges, she withdrew the request and asked for a jury trial, which is set to begin Jan. 20 in Gurleyâs courtroom in Aztec.</p> 541<p><em id="emphasis-9697e463a8b3a53572c530267b6310ae"><a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></em></p> 542 </div> 543 </div> 544 </div><!-- /.article-body-container --> 545 546 <!-- Copy article link --> 547 <div class="share-button-container mt-4"> 548 <button id="shareArticleButton" 549 class="share-button-link" 550 type="button" 551 onclick="ShareArticleLink();" 552 aria-label="Copy article link to clipboard"> 553 Copy article link 554 </button> 555 </div> 556 557 558 <div class="mt-4 mt-md-5 pt-4 pt-md-5 border-top"> 559 <h3 class="fw-bold mb-3">Related Tags</h3> 560 <div class="d-flex flex-wrap gap-2"> 561 <a href="https://www.tricityrecordnm.com/tag/crime/" class="btn btn-sm btn-light text-dark rounded-pill">
