On March 28, 2023, a tragic incident occurred in Mora, New Mexico, resulting in the death of 25-year-old Jerome Alcon. The New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau was called to investigate a homicide at a residence in Mora. Around 7:30 p.m., Mora County Sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a disorderly disturbance involving a gun at 15 County Road A037.
Upon arrival, deputies encountered Jacob Alcon, 20, walking out of the residence armed with a rifle.
When commanded to drop the weapon, Jacob ran back into the home and barricaded himself inside a room. Deputies entered the home and discovered Jerome Alcon deceased in the kitchen with an apparent gunshot wound.
After a brief standoff, Jacob Alcon surrendered and was peacefully taken into custody by the New Mexico State Police. He was initially booked into the San Miguel County Detention Center on an open charge of Murder. Jacob Alcon, who is Jerome's brother, was accused of shooting and killing Jerome during this incident.
Jerome Alcon was born on October 27, 1997, in Las Vegas, NM. He was employed by Forte Security for over 5 years and was known for his love of the outdoors, including activities such as fishing, hunting, and snowboarding. Jerome was also remembered for his care and dedication to his grandparents, often helping them with various tasks and errands.
The case against Jacob Alcon has seen developments since the initial arrest. While he originally faced a first-degree murder charge for the shooting death of his brother Jerome, it appears that new charges have been brought against him. However, the specific details of these new charges were not provided in the available information.
The New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau, with assistance from the NMSP Crime Scene Team, continued to investigate this tragic incident that resulted in the loss of Jerome Alcon's life and the arrest of his younger brother, Jacob Alcon.
