A Message to the Citizens of Taos County from the TCCS Coordinator:

During the late evening and night of May 20, 2011, three men were shot in the Colorado Road area of Tres Piedras. One man, 53 year old Jeff King died of his injury. He was murdered, plain and simple! The two other men were seriously injured, having been shot in the head. There is no apparent reason for these shootings, no rhyme, no reason! These crimes remain unsolved.

Taos County Crime Stoppers posted a request for information regarding these crimes on its website shortly after May 20th. To date we have received NO Tips regarding this incident. At this time we would like to redouble our efforts to solve this crime. We are issuing a plea to the citizens of Taos County for any information regarding these senseless acts of violence!

It is true that many small law enforcement agencies across this country have limited training and resources. However, there is NO excuse for citizens who have knowledge of a MURDER and the serious shooting of two other men to remain silent.

Please think about this, WHO AMONG US CAN FEEL SAFE IN OUR HOMES IF WE ALLOW MURDERERS TO REMAIN AT LARGE AND TO KILL AT WILL? There are citizens out there who know who committed these crimes! You can pass on this information ANONYMOUSLY to Taos County Crime Stoppers.
