I do not have L. Montoya's middle initial. I can only guess his year of birth at 1967 (+/- 1 Yr) given that he was killed in 2006 at the age of 39.
I did a search of court records at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court link, there were quite a few results returned for the individual that I searched for by the search terms outlined above.
A great many were Traffic violations. I do not think that those would be of interest to us in looking at his history. However, what caught my eye were the following charges.
These are charges and I have not followed to the sentence and/or dismissal of these charges.
I do not know for sure if this is the L. Montoya that is referred to in the article above. But the year of birth is accurate (no others of that name with that year found) and the descriptions of the defendent are consistant.
That being said here are some charges I saw:
1/12/2005 Patronizing prostitutes
7/13/2002 Unlawful carry deadly weapon
11/03/1999 Criminal Sexual Penetration 2nd degree, Criminal Sexual Penetration 3rd degree, Kidnapping (all charges Nolle prosequi)
9/26/1998 Patronizing prostitutes
5/04/1994 Assault domestic Violence Case
4/22/1989 Unlawful carry deadly weapon
Just found them interesting.
