INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE HOW A 16 YEAR OLD GIRL, VANESSA ORDONEZ, DIED AT A PARTY IN VALENCIA COUNTY SUNDAY NIGHT. THE PARTY WAS HELD AT THE RIVER OFF REINKEN ROAD IN BELEN. UP TO A HUNDRED PEOPLE WERE THERE AND THE ALCOHOL WAS FLOWING.
A FIGHT STARTED AMONG SOME AT THE PARTY, WITH WOMEN EVEN GETTING INTO THE FIGHT. KOB TV REPORTS THAT ONE WITNESS SAID A MAN IN A BLACK GMC INTENTIONALLY DROVE INTO THE CROWD DURING THE FIGHT. THIRTY-THREE YEAR OLD CASEY PERALTA WAS SHOT DURING THE FIGHT. BUT HE DIDN’T DIE. HIS INJURIES ARE SAID TO BE NONE LIFE-THREATENING.
NEW MEXICO POLICE ARE ASSISTING IN COLLECTING EVIDENCE, BUT INVESTIGATORS ARE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW THE PARTY GOT OUT OF CONTROL. NO ONE IS IN CUSTODY.
