Santa Fe Police arrested two people accused of shooting a gun on Sunday night at a house in a neighborhood on Rufina Street during an attempted burglary.
Darlene Dean and Joseph Anaya, both 41, face multiple felony counts as a result of the Senda del Valle incident, according to a criminal complaint filed in County Magistrates’ Court on Monday of Santa Fe. Dean was charged with attempted aggravated burglary, conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary, shooting at an occupied building, conspiracy to shoot at a building and tampering with evidence. Anaya has been charged with both attempt and conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary, conspiracy to shoot at a building, possession of a firearm by a criminal and resisting arrest.
Anaya pleaded guilty to one count of intentional homicide in 2009 after being charged with stabbing and killing a man.
Dean and Anaya were held in the Santa Fe County Jail.
A boy who was playing outside Senda del Valle’s home told police that two people, later identified as Dean and Anaya, entered the yard around 7 p.m. Sunday in a red truck. He called his mother, who was inside the house with her ex-boyfriend, to warn her that the couple were at the door with guns, according to the complaint.
The boy’s mother told police that she went to the door to pick up her children, but the suspects fired two shots at the house, so she went into hiding.
Neighbors told officers a man who fled from the scene was near Dail Circle. An officer located Anaya – who again attempted to run away – and used a police dog to stop and arrest her, according to the complaint.
Other officers found Dean after residents called emergency dispatchers to report that someone driving a red truck had thrown guns into a yard on Willy Road.
Dean was arrested and arrested on South Meadows Road.
Police recovered a shotgun and a revolver that they believed to have thrown in the neighborhood.
It was not clear from the criminal complaint whether Dean and Anaya knew the owner.
No one was injured in the incident.
Anaya has a long criminal history.
He was charged with knife murder at a party on Hopewell Street in 2007 that killed Francisco Barron, 38. He was 27 at the time. A jury got stuck on his first degree murder charge the following year. Rather than stand another trial, however, Anaya pleaded guilty to one count of intentional homicide in 2009.
Court records show Anaya was convicted of robbing two tour groups with an ice pick in 1999 in downtown Santa Fe, and he was convicted of reckless driving and resisting the arrested in 2004. He also has a long history of domestic violence charges.
Anaya suffered a brain injury at the age of 15 in a crash caused by a drunk driver, according to a state-produced 2005 documentary on traumatic brain injury. He said in the film that he was diagnosed with “impulsive reaction disorder, which means I won’t think before I act”.
“My personality has changed a bit to become more of an angry person,” he added in the film.
