14 people arrested at S.F. home after shooting prompts SWAT response

Jan. 4—A SWAT team operation Saturday at a home on Camino del Bosque, prompted by a report of a man wounded by gunshot, led to the arrests of 14 people, including two juveniles.

Santa Fe police said in a news release Saturday evening a 32-year-old man had been admitted into Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center around 5 a.m. Saturday with a gunshot wound to the leg. Police questioned the man, whose injury was not life-threatening, and determined the shooting likely occurred in the 2800 block of Camino del Bosque.

Officers arrived at the site — in a neighborhood near the intersection of Rodeo and Zia roads and Camino Carlos Rey — around 5:45 a.m., according to residents, who noted they had been concerned for years about the possibility of criminal activity at the home.

Suspecting someone inside the home was armed, officers made announcements from the street for hours Saturday morning, asking those inside to exit, according to police and neighbors, but the occupants were unresponsive.

That’s when the situation escalated to a SWAT team response, Santa Fe police Chief Paul Joye said.

The police department said in the news release officers obtained a search warrant for the home and called in the SWAT team, which surrounded the property “and called out to the occupants of the residence over a public address system, instructing them to exit the residence.”

“After several hours of call outs, the occupants of the residence exited and were taken into custody,” the news release states, and police were able to execute the search warrant.

Officers wearing gas masks could be seen hauling a television into the back of a Crime Scene Unit vehicle after noon Saturday.

The incident led to the shutdown of Camino del Bosque from Camino Carlos Rey to Calle de Piñata, the city said in an early morning alert. It was opened up again before 4 p.m.

One of the 14 people arrested was a man identified as the primary suspect in the shooting. Joaquin Archuleta, 49, has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, as well as resisting, evading or obstructing an officer, according to the news release.

Archuleta has a criminal history, the release states, including charges of drug possession and trafficking and battery against a family member.

Police did not name the other 13 suspects or provide information about the charges they face.

Earlier Saturday, police said 16 people were detained for questioning.
