A family claims Albuquerque police officers ruined an investigation that could have determined whether the death of a loved on was suicide or murder.
In October 2007, Tera Andrea Chavez was found dead in her Valencia County home. Investigators determined she died after the police issued gun of her husband, APD officer Levi Chavez, went off in her mouth.
The lawsuit alleges that several APD officers drove to the crime scene, interfered with the Valencia County Sheriff's Office investigation and ruined evidence.
