THE 26 YEAR OLD MAN FOUND DEAD NEAR UNM EARLY TUESDAY WAS A STUDENT AT THE SCHOOL. JUAN ROMERO’S BODY WAS FOUND ON STANFORD SOUTH OF CENTRAL. HIS SISTER TELLS KOB-TV HE’D BEEN SHOT TO DEATH. APD IS INVESTIGATING HIS DEATH AS SUSPICIOUS.
BUT THE SHOOTING … AND ANOTHER RECENT INCIDENT IN WHICH SOMEONE POINTED A GUN AT A STUDENT RECENTLY AT YALE AND CENTRAL … HAS RAISED THE ISSUE OF SAFETY AGAIN FOR UNM. THE SCHOOL IS TAKING FURTHER STEPS TO PROTECT STUDENTS AND STAFF … URGING THEM TO USE LOBO ALERTS AND THE BLUE LIGHTS ACROSS CAMPUS … AND EVEN INITIATING A NEW ANDROID APP CALLED LOBO GUARDIAN THAT LINKS STUDENTS TO CAMPUS POLICE AND TRACKS LOCATIONS.
UNM HAS AN OPEN CAMPUS.
