An 18-year-old man was arrested Friday in connection with the deadly shooting of a teenager in Albuquerque — an act of violence which was followed by a 911 dispatcher hanging up on the victim’s friend as she begged for help.
Donovan Maez, 18, was arrested by Albuquerque police Friday night and charged in connection with the June 26 death of Jaydon Chavez-Silver, 17, according to a brief police statement and jail records. Police said in a criminal complaint obtained by NBC station KOB that Maez was identified by witnesses as being involved. Police said in the complaint that the motivation for the shooting may have been a fight that occurred at the home previously.

This new court order presents some wrinkles for the ongoing conversation. But there's been a lot of chatter about the broader encryption issue in the tech community over the past year.
