A man held for questioning in Thursday night's shooting death of a Tucumcari martial arts fighter has been released, police said Friday.
Albert Jason Pacheco Jr., 31, was killed in a fight on Main Street, police said. Police detained a man immediately after the shooting, then released him and turned the case over to New Mexico State Police. Officials have declined to name the man they questioned.
Pacheco was shot about 7:45 p.m. Thursday while fighters were being weighed in a gym in preparation for a martial arts event slated for Friday night at the Tucumcari Convention Center. The event, called the Desert Xtreme Blood War, was canceled because of the shooting, said the director of the center.
