Shaylee Boling, 14, and Shuanna Arredondo-Boling killed, Elexus Groves, 21, and Paul Garcia, 24, arrested in collision involving stolen vehicle at Copper and Chelwood in Albuquerque, New Mexico

APD says a passenger in the other vehicle was killed in the crash.

Police have not identified the victim but they say are searching for the suspects.

Police haven’t identified the victims, but the Journal has learned that a teenage girl was killed and her mother is in critical condition. 

Groves faces charges of homicide (felony murder), unlawful taking of a motor vehicle, tampering with evidence, aggravated fleeing an officer, and two counts of aggravated battery with great bodily harm, according to the statement.

Groves arrest comes about three weeks after she was charged with nearly hitting a deputy with a stolen rental car.

Police are searching for Paul Garcia, 24,  who is wanted for murder and other felony charges in connection with the Copper and Chelwood fatal crash. A reward is available for information leading to his arrest.

Immediate family and UNM Hospital have confirmed Shaylee’s mom, Shuanna Arredondo-Boling, died Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile, one of the suspects is still on the run.

The U.S. Marshals Service is offering an up to $2,000.00 reward for information leading to Garcia's arrest.

If you receive any information regarding Garcia, please contact the United States Marshals Service at (505)346-6400 (Albuquerque) or (575) 527-6850 (Las Cruces).

Officials say a tipster alerted authorities of Garcia’s whereabouts when they spotted him at a McDonald’s inside of a Walmart.

Just a month before that, Groves was caught driving a stolen car while breaking into mailboxes in Placitas[3]. Sheriff’s deputies say she tried to run over a deputy when he tried to arrest her.

After more than two weeks on the run police have nabbed the man accused of being in the stolen van when it crashed into a family, killing 14-year-old Shaylee Boling and her mother.

Friday Groves is due in court for an arraignment on receiving or transferring a stolen motor vehicle charge from last year.

Police say fingerprints show Groves was the driver of that car, but now the case has been dropped. According to court documents, there was not enough evidence.   

She asked again in February, but was denied then too. She’s now asking for a third time. In the motion, she says she’s been in custody for 944 days and cites her right to a speedy trial.

The judge ruled to keep Groves in custody and referred to her previous history of being released on condition from another case when the crash happened.

Monday, the Supreme Court ruled, a person who causes a death while fleeing a law enforcement officer could face prosecution for first-degree murder in certain circumstances.

Elexus Groves drove a stolen van that crashed into a car, killing an Albuquerque woman and her daughter, but those actions don’t constitute the crime of murder, her attorney told jurors Wednesday on the first day of her trial.

Jurors found Elexus Groves guilty of two counts of vehicular homicide, but acquitted her of more serious murder charges stemming from a 2017 crash that killed an Albuquerque woman and her 14-year-old daughter.
