Can a family tragedy be fully understood, or are some wounds destined to remain raw? The horrific events that unfolded in Tijeras, New Mexico, last month, resulting in the deaths of Raymundo Mestre, Bertha Mestre, Brielle Mestre, and the family dog, have left behind a chilling narrative, shrouded in unanswered questions that continue to haunt the investigation.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) is currently investigating the brutal shooting that occurred outside the Mestre family home on Young Road in Tijeras. The details emerging paint a grim picture, one of violence and familial disintegration. Adlai Mestre, 24, the son and brother of the victims, was apprehended by deputies and now faces a multitude of serious charges.
