Summary based on 2 sources
Nathaniel Chee, a 42-year-old resident of Ruidoso, New Mexico, lost his life due to gun violence on January 15, 2021. The incident occurred in Ruidoso, a town in Lincoln County, New Mexico.

The details of the event are tied to a law enforcement pursuit. On January 15, 2021, Chee was involved in a situation that led to a pursuit by law enforcement. During this pursuit, a Ruidoso Downs Police officer was reportedly involved in a confrontation with Chee, who was identified as a murder suspect. The pursuit culminated in a shooting incident, resulting in Chee's death.

There is no specific mention of other suspects involved in the incident that led to Chee's death. The focus is primarily on the interaction between Chee and the law enforcement officer. The New Mexico State Police were involved in investigating the shooting, indicating that the incident was subject to a thorough examination by state authorities.

No arrests were made in connection with Chee's death, as he was the individual who was fatally shot during the law enforcement encounter. The investigation into the shooting would have been conducted to determine the circumstances and legality of the use of force by the police officer, but specific details on the outcome of this investigation are not provided in the available sources.

It is worth noting that Nathaniel Chee had a previous legal history, having been convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2012 related to the death of his six-year-old daughter in 2010. However, this prior incident is unrelated to the circumstances of his death on January 15, 2021.
