21-year-old shoots stepmom as she goes to hug him at graduation

A 21-year-old shot his stepmother as she went in to hug him at his charter school graduation ceremony, New Mexico police say.

Cristian Bencomo was booked into jail on Wednesday, May 8, accused of shooting his stepmother, the Albuquerque Police Department said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

The investigation revealed that Bencomo’s stepmother “started to hug him,” and he pulled out a “handgun and shot her in the neck,” police said.

“We made it all the way through graduation – it was really lovely until it wasn’t,” Mary Ward, a witness, told KOB 4 Eyewitness News.

With more than 100 people in attendance at the charter school graduation, Gallegos said “there was a lot of … chaos at the time.”

Nonetheless, police said “bystanders held (Bencomo) until officers arrived.”

The woman was taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to Gallegos. She underwent “hours of surgery,” according to the organizers of a GoFundMe, who said she will need continued medical treatment and rehab.

Angel Chester, the woman’s sister, was close by when the shooting happened, KRQE News reported. Chester told the station she witnessed Bencomo stomp on her sister’s head following the shooting.

“I keep thinking that it’s a bad dream that I’ll wake up from,” Chester told the outlet.

Mother shot during high school graduation ceremony in ...

FOX 10 Phoenix 3 days ago — During the ceremony, 21-year-old Cristian Bencomo shot his stepmother, who was attending the high school graduation for her son.

in other words the son is a different boy.

by Anonymousreply 21May 12, 2024 2:12 PM

"Police say the shooter, Cristian Bencomo pulled out a gun and shot his step-mother as she tried to give him a hug. The victim’s sister tells us she’s still shocked about what she saw happen just feet away from her.

“Somebody came up and shot my sister…right in the neck,” said Angel Chester, the victim’s sister. “I keep thinking that it’s a bad dream that I’ll wake up from.”

Angel’s sister, Victoria Bencomo, invited the family downtown to celebrate her son’s accomplishment. He was graduating high school from the Southwest Secondary Learning Center Charter School with the ceremony taking place inside the Albuquerque Convention Center. “You know hearing the speeches of the valedictorian and the salutatorian and hearing about all the student’s accomplishments,” said Chester.

Family says Victoria was hugging her son when Victoria’s stepson, Cristian Bencomo, approached. “And then when I looked back, Cristian was standing there and my sister actually tried to hug him. And he pushed her away, and then he just pulled out the gun,” said Chester.

Albuquerque police say the 21-year-old, Bencomo, shot his stepmother in the neck. “After he shot her and she fell to the ground, he started stomping on her head,” said Chester. "

So I read this as 2 different young men. Her son, graduating, and her stepson, invited to attend.

The whole of America is an unsafe space R3. This is reflected in the horrifying statistic that gunshot fatality is the leading cause of death for American children which the majority of Americans seem proud of and see it as just the basic quid pro quo price to be able to purchase a machine gun.

I thought it was her idiot son too. I'm sure they did that on purpose to make us all read about the little retarded boy who finally graduated AND learned to shoot. Oh and his fucking Simple Jack haircut also lends credence to the "dipshit kid" theory.

Stepmoms are usually wicked hags. I only wish that my stepmom would drop dead but never actually tried to make it happen. I figured one of her many ailments would finally do her in but she lived to be 70 which shocked me.

This part is weird.

Why would she go up to him and try to hug him, if they had such a bad relationship.

I feel like he was harboring some extreme rage towards her, which she didn't know about.

Then it all came out at the graduation.

You don't hug someone you hate, or someone that you're mistreating.
