ALBUQUERQUE – A Little Water man was sentenced to 46 months in prison for shooting the victim during a drunken altercation. There is no parole in the federal system. According to court documents, on July 29, 2024, Anthony Sandoval , 41, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, and the victim were intoxicated when they got into a disagreement at a residence in Little Water, New Mexico. During the altercation, Sandoval shot the victim with a .22 caliber rifle. Sandoval then called emergency dispatch, reported that he had shot someone, and remained at the scene until law enforcement arrived. Responding officers found the victim suffering from a gunshot wound to the head and transported him to a local hospital, where they were later airlifted to a regional hospital for treatment. Before additional officers arrived, Sandoval fled the scene. Law enforcement located and arrested him later that evening at another residence. During the investigation, officers recovered the rifle and collected evidence from the scene. The victim underwent multiple surgeries to treat injuries sustained during the shooting. Sandoval pled guilty to assault with a dangerous weapon. Upon his release from prison, Sandoval will be subject to three years of supervised release. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison and Special Agent in Charge Justin A. Garris of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Albuquerque Field Office made the announcement today. The Gallup Resident Agency of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Albuquerque Field Office investigated this case with assistance from the Navajo Nation Police Department and Navajo Department of Criminal Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Marshall is prosecuting the case.
