New Mexico Teen Accused of Uber Driver Murder Faces Additional Gun Threat Charges

Sheliky Sanchez, an 18-year-old from Albuquerque, New Mexico, is charged with the murder of Uber driver Joseph Andrus, which he confessed to as a way to 'let some steam off' due to stress. During police interrogation, Sanchez claimed to have killed three other people, though these claims remain unverified. In addition to the murder charge, Sanchez faces new charges including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, child abuse, and witness intimidation related to an incident where he allegedly pointed a gun at his 7-year-old half-brother while intoxicated and told him not to tell anyone. Judge Brett Loveless ruled that Sanchez is too dangerous to be released and ordered him to remain in custody for both cases. A forensic psychologist explained that Sanchez's admitted enjoyment of violence might indicate a lack of the typical emotional inhibitors against violent behavior. Sanchez will return to court early next month as investigations continue.
