Shiprock man facing murder charge in connection to stabbing
Rio Rancho Police investigate body found on Northern Boulevard
Court documents show on Friday, June 27, Paul was arrested after Navajo Nation Police Department officers responded to a stabbing at a Shiprock home. The victim was found dead with a wound to their neck. Investigation revealed Paul went to a home after midnight and turned off the power. After a young woman and her father left the home to see what happened, Paul forced his way into the residence with a knife. There was a brief struggle and Paul stabbed the man, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. He fled the scene and was arrested later that day.
Paul is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation. He remains in custody pending trial, which has yet to be scheduled. The Farmington Resident Agency of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Albuquerque Field Office investigated this case with help from the Navajo Nation Police Department and Department of Criminal Investigations. Assistant U.S. Attorney Zachary C. Jones is prosecuting the case.
