NE Albuquerque –
Albuquerque Police arrested sixty-four year old Maurice Lacey on 10/21/2022 for shooting his wife at the Neighborhood Walmart located at 4700 Cutler Ave. NE. According to the criminal complaint, Lacey walked into the store, then back to the break room where his wife and a co-worker were on break. He retrieved a firearm from his waistband and fired one shot to the back of his wife’s head.
She immediately dropped to the ground and Lacey stood over her and said:
“That’s what she gets for messing around,” and then he asked the co-worker “Is she cheating?” The coworker said she told Lacey “yes” because she feared for her own life if she gave the wrong answer.
Lacey then walked to the front of the store and then announced “I just shot my wife.”
