Timoteo Benavidez, a former Sante Fe Police Department lieutenant who was the day shift command on the day of the 2021 shooting on the “Rust” set, is the second witness in the case. He is now being questioned by the prosecutor.
Benavidez's testimony is crucial in shedding light on the events that transpired on the day of the tragic incident. As the day shift command at the time, he likely had firsthand knowledge of the security protocols in place and the overall handling of firearms on the set.
