Violent Aryan Brotherhood Member Identified as Person Killed in Police Shootout

Albuquerque –

On February 23rd, 2025, the Albuquerque Police Department was called to a house that neighbors describe as a problem house with domestic violence calls. That problem neighbor we discovered was an Aryan Brotherhood member and convicted federal felon named Benjamin Raymond. We identified Raymond through property and criminal records and witnesses who refuse to be identified out of fear.

When police arrived at the home they found Raymond in the driveway of the home and he was combative with officers.

“At this point in time, they did advise the individual that he was under arrest. The individual tried to flee the scene, and officers were able to tackle the individual at this point in time for about the next two minutes. Officers are in a wrestling match for their life as the individual is armed with a handgun, and officers are trying to keep the handgun pinned down to the ground,” said APD Chief Harold Medina.

APD officers shot and killed Raymond after the wrestling match and Raymond was pronounced dead at the scene.

“He also did make several statements, such as, I don’t want to do this or don’t make me do this,” said Chief Medina.

We observed Raymond dead in the street across from the home where the call for service started. There appeared to be a firearm near the body. There were also belongings and baskets of clothes out in the driveway, indicating someone was possibly moving when the incident happened.

BACKGROUND ON RAYMOND’S FEDERAL TIME:

March of 2021, Benjamin Raymond, a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, was sentenced to 150 months of imprisonment for committing violent crimes in aid of racketeering. The two-count second superseding indictment charged Raymond with committing two violent crimes in aid of racketeering activity: (1) conspiracy to commit murder, and (2) attempted murder.

Then, United States Attorney Kenneth J. Gonzales said that the charges stemmed from the attempted murder of John Mudersbach on September 17, 2002, in Valencia County, New Mexico. Raymond, who pled guilty to the indictment on December 23, 2010, admitted that he conspired to murder Mudersbach to gain entrance to and maintain and increase his position in the Aryan Brotherhood in New Mexico. Raymond also admitted that he ordered another Aryan Brotherhood member to kill Mudersbach to prevent Mudersbach from talking to law enforcement about a 2002 Aryan Brotherhood related murder.

Raymond served a 15-year federal sentence based on a 2003 conviction for being a felon in possession of a firearm. As part of Raymond’s agreement with the government, his 150-month sentence in this case will be served after Raymond completes his current 15-year sentence. He was released from federal prison in 2021.

As being a federally convicted felon he was not to have possession of a firearm.
