The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office has completed its investigation into last year’s deadly accidental shooting by Alec Baldwin of the cinematographer of the low-budget western “Rust,” turning the case over to local District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies.
“The District Attorney and her team of investigators and prosecutors will now begin a thorough review of the information and evidence to make a thoughtful, timely decision about whether to bring charges,” Heather Brewer, Carmack-Altwies spokesperson, said in a statement. “As with all cases that the District Attorney handles, her focus will be on upholding the integrity of the process, enforcing the laws of the state of New Mexico, and pursuing justice.”
It was not immediately clear whether sheriff’s investigators determined there was sufficient evidence to support criminal charges.
