Authorities confirmed that the victims were his immediate family members, including his father, Leonardo Leiba, his mother, Adriana Bencomo, and his two brothers, Adrian Leiba and Alexander Leiba. All four were found deceased inside the home, having sustained fatal gunshot wounds. The suspect, Diego Leiba, was charged with four open counts of first-degree murder. The investigation was later handed over to New Mexico State Police, who assumed full responsibility for the case. As of now, the case remains unresolved, with court proceedings on hold as Diego Leiba undergoes a competency evaluation. Prosecutors say the case cannot move forward until it's determined whether he is mentally fit to stand trial.
