   ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A third arrest was made Friday in connection   
   with a shooting outside an Albuquerque baseball stadium that killed   
   an 11-year-old boy and prompted the New Mexico governor to issue a   
   controversial gun ban.   
      
   Albuquerque police took Daniel Gomez, 26, into custody a day after   
   two other men were identified as suspects. Police didn’t immediately   
   release further details about Gomez’s arrest.   
      
   Jose Romero, 22, and Nathen Garley, 21, were being held for the   
   Sept. 6 shooting after an Albuquerque Isotopes game in what appeared   
   to be a case of mistaken identity, Police Chief Harold Medina said   
   at a news conference.   
      
   Medina said the two men had argued with people during the ballgame   
   and mistakenly opened fire on a truck carrying Froylan Villegas and   
   his family as it was leaving the parking lot because it closely   
   resembled the truck of the intended targets.   
      
   “These cowards thought they were tough,” Medina said in an earlier   
   social media post. “They killed an innocent child.”   
      
   Romero was already wanted for failing to appear in court in   
   connection with alleged drug dealing, Medina said.   
      
   Garley happened to be in custody when he was arrested in connection   
   with the killing. He had been stopped by state police on Sept. 13   
   while returning from Arizona and authorities found a gun and about   
   100,000 fentanyl tablets in the car, state Police Chief W. Troy   
   Weisler said at the news conference.   
      
   Further investigation linked him to the shooting, authorities   
   alleged.   
      
   Garley’s case has been assigned to the New Mexico Law Offices of the   
   Public Defender, but the case is still in its early stages,   
   spokesperson Maggie Shepard said Friday. She did not know if Romero   
   would also have a public defender.   
      
   The office did not immediately respond to an inquiry about Gomez.   
      
   Police alleged that the men, both reputed gang members, pulled up in   
   a car and attacked the pickup truck that was leaving the minor   
   league game at Isotopes Stadium.   
      
   More than a dozen shots were fired, killing Froylan Villegas and   
   leaving his cousin, Tatiana Villegas, paralyzed from the waist down,   
   authorities said. A GoFundMe account for Tatiana Villegas’ recovery   
   has raised nearly $40,000 to date.   
      
   The boy’s mother and his infant brother were also inside the truck   
   but weren’t injured, although two bullets barely missed the other   
   child, police spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said.   
      
   Romero and Garley had had an ongoing feud with another man and   
   argued with him during the baseball game. The man drove a white   
   Dodge pickup truck, Gallegos said.   
      
   The victims were in a very similar white Dodge truck that drove by   
   the truck of the intended target, police said.   
      
   “It is our belief that these cowards mixed up the two vehicles and   
   shot into the wrong vehicle,” the police chief said.   
      
   “Investigators used cellphone data and social media to track the   
   movements of several individuals,” Gallegos said. “The day after the   
   shooting, the man who was feuding with Romero sent him a message on   
   Instagram indicating they shot at the wrong truck.”   
      
   The shooting, one of several involving children, prompted New Mexico   
   Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, to issue an emergency   
   public health order days later suspending the right to carry   
   firearms in public in and around Albuquerque. The measure was fought   
   by Republican lawmakers and gun rights groups and a federal judge   
   last week granted a temporary restraining order to block the order   
   pending another court hearing next month.   
      
   U.S. District Judge David Urias said that the governor’s original   
   order was likely to cause irreparable harm to people deprived of the   
   right to carry a gun in public for self-defense.   
      
   Grisham then amended the order to apply only to public parks and   
   playgrounds where children and their families gather.
