Video shows Albuquerque gathering just before fatal shooting

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A man is charged with shooting and killing a man at a dance, and police said the motive was a decade-old grudge.

On Monday morning, Theodore Toney faced a judge on murder charges. Now, a new video shows the moments that led up to the shooting.

In the video, people are dancing and mingling, and the victim has been there for about an hour.

The police stated Toney walked up behind him and shot him in the head.
