Arrests made in Navajo Nation killing and separate shootings in Utica, Pueblo
Federal prosecutors charged Eloy and Harold Perea in a series of alleged assaults on the Navajo Nation, including the 2024 killing of a woman and later attacks prosecutors say were intended to punish another woman for speaking with law enforcement. In separate shooting cases, police in Utica arrested Kevin Polanco after investigators linked him to gunfire that struck a residence, while Pueblo police arrested Matthew Galena-Rebeterano and Elijah Johnson in connection with an alleged drive-by shooting. Authorities said the Pueblo suspects were identified after a ShotSpotter alert and a witness report of a vehicle leaving the scene; Galena-Rebeterano faces multiple charges, including attempted first-degree murder, and Johnson is charged with complicity in attempted murder.
