Law enforcement in New Mexico is examining how a teenage boy wound up dead from smoke inhalation following an Albuquerque SWAT raid to catch a man wanted for parole violations and questioning.
On July 7, police converged on a home in southeast Albuquerque to arrest 27-year-old Qiaunt Kelley on a warrant for parole violations. The home was not Kelley's. When police arrived at the home, they found him outside with Brett Rosenau, 15. Kelley, rather than surrendering to police, fled into the home and barricaded himself in. Rosenau followed him in, according to the Albuquerque Police Department's public report.
