The state police officers who shot and killed Arcenio Lujan just outside city limits on May 8 have been cleared of any wrongdoing, District Attorney Richard Flores announced Monday.

Lujan, who earlier that day had been fired from his city of Las Vegas job, was killed after he pointed a rifle at officers. The officers who fired on Lujan were subsequently identified as Anthony Robinson, who has been with state police for one year, and Jonathan Wright, who has been with the agency for three years.

The photograph snapped near Plaza Park last month tells the story: A white city of Las Vegas parks department truck with a Susana Martinez for governor bumper sticker.

City officials concede the bumper sticker should never have been on the city-owned vehicle in the first place. It’s unclear who placed the sticker there.

Thursday, Aug. 13 — Town Police Chief Melecio Perea wishes to inform all people in Las Vegas that the making of U-turns on Bridge St. between the bridge and the Plaza are illegal. Another thing that Chief Perea would like to stress is the fact that the Town and City dumps are the proper places to dump garbage, not in Town or City or anywhere else. Anyone caught doing so will also be prosecuted to the fullest extent, Perea said.
