ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Authorities have identified the federal marshal who shot a man outside of Albuquerque during an arrest attempt.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department said Friday that U.S. Marshal Sean Cozart fired two shots at 32-year-old Gilbert Angelo Serrano last month.
According to deputies, Serrano was tried to flee from agents when Cozart fired into his vehicle. Officials said Serrano suffered non-life-threatening injuries to his head and was transported to University of New Mexico Hospital. He was later taken into custody the same day.
Serrano was wanted on a probation violation and child abuse charges.
Authorities say the investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
