SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) A Santa Fe landlord's murder trial is underway in a case stemming from the shooting of a tenant and her daughter's boyfriend during a January 2012 rent dispute. Testimony began Tuesday in District Court in Arthur Anaya's trial in the killings of Theresa Vigil and Austin Urban, allegedly committed in a dispute over $100 in late rent.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reported that prosecutor Tim Williams said the case is about money but defense attorney Joseph Campbell said his client shot Vigil and Urban in self-defense after asking them to leave his property.
Anaya is charged with murder, bribery of a witness, aggravated assault, tampering with evidence and aggravated assault on a peace officer.
