Excerpt from LCSUN-News-2017/02/07: The plot targeted specific personnel within the Carlsbad Police
Department, Artesia Police Department and the Eddy County Sheriff's Office, according to a news release
from the Pecos Valley Drug Task Force…Commander James McCormick with the PVDTF said the suspects
planned to use firearms and explosives to carry out their plans on the targeted officers….An ‘intensive,
multi-agency investigation’ began once the plot was discovered, police said, and led law enforcement to
believe suspects had already taken steps to further the plan. McCormick said it appears the suspects
intended to hire assailants to target the officers. Excerpt from Police One-2017/02/09: Commander James
McCormick with the PVDTF said the suspects planned to use firearms and explosives to carry out their
plans on the targeted officers. Excerpt from Artesia News-2016/06/04: “Albuquerque is the hub right
now,” Cmdr. James McCormick of the PVDTF said Saturday. “Cubans traditionally only dealt with cocaine
and crack cocaine, but they have now expanded their horizons to include heroin and meth. And they
have lots of it, and it’s cheap.”

Behind the Blue Wall: There seem to be holes in the investigation. Alb. Journal: A district judge has cleared
retired State Police officer Mark McCracken of murder charges stemming from his wife Melanie's death in a
1995 car crash near Los Lunas. Retired District Judge David Bonem of Clovis was critical of State Police for not
involving an independent agency early on when investigating one of their own….McCracken was charged with
first-degree murder and tampering with evidence by a Valencia County grand jury in 2003, but the charges
were dismissed because an investigator for the prosecution was in the grand jury room during testimony.

Officer Luke McPeek…got out of his vehicle. That’s when Sherrill pulled an item out of his pocket or waistband
and pointed it at the officer, Banks said. McPeek radioed in that Sherrill had a gun, retreated toward his vehicle
and shouted at Sherrill to put his hands on his head, Banks said. Sherrill did not comply with the officer’s
commands, Banks said, and that’s when McPeek fired at him. By then, officers David Muñoz, who joined APD in
April 2012, and Jim Edison, who joined in 2007, also had arrived at the scene. They also fired at Sherrill…Banks
said the brake pad was found in the parking lot near Wyoming and Northeastern, where the shooting occurred.
A large folding knife with a thick black handle was also found “next to the suspect’s hands,” an APD
spokeswoman said later. Banks said it’s not clear whether Sherrill was wielding the brake pad, the knife, or both
items when officers shot him
