EXPOSE’: The Murder and Cover-up of a Small Town Girl; Tera Chavez (PART 3)

PART 3 OF 5 in THE EYE ON ALBUQUERQUE EXPOSE'

PART 3:LEVI CHAVEZ LEAVES "HIS" ISSUED APD GUN WITH HIS ESTRANGED WIFE

While an officer with Albuquerque’s Aviation Police, Levi Chavez, chose to carry a Kimber 1911 style pistol instead of the department issued Glock 17. After going through APD’s 6th Lateral Academy class and going through three months of OJT, Levi continued to carry his APD issued Glock 17 until about the patrol officer’s 2007 bid.  Thereafter, he carried his Kimber pistol. 

Under APD operation rules and procedures, only officers who are no longer probationary, or “P 2/C” status may apply and qualify to carry an approved non-department issued gun, such as, a 1911 styled gun.
A 1911 is generally configured to fire larger .45 caliber bullets and has a grip and thumb safety. In order to carry a non-department gun not only must the officer be non-probationary, but they must satisfy a list of department requirements. They must complete and pass a 100 bullet state regulated day and night qualification shoot. They must also have a form signed off by their entire chain of command: sergeant, lieutenant, captain, deputy chief, and chief detailing the gun and qualification scores. APD range staff must inspect the gun and document details of it including trigger pull weight. And to carry a 1911, the qualified officer must also take a half-day “1911 Transition Course” offered by APD range personnel. Then and only then is the officer qualified and allowed to carry his non-department pistol on duty and loaded with specific department issued ammunition.
Levi has said under oath both in depositions and in open court that he had approval to carry his Kimber but this is refuted by an absence of any documentation at APD’s range showing he qualified with the gun, he didn’t take the course, he didn’t get the form signed off on, didn’t take the training, and of course he was still a probationary employee.
Where was the APD issued Glock?
If we are to believe Levi Chavez’s version of the events of Saturday, October 20, 2007, his loaded and chambered Glock was sitting in an unlocked armoire at his and Tera’s home in Los Lunas. Levi Chavez left his APD issued gun with a person he stated during trial; was "bugging him." We are asked to believe that he intentionally kept a loaded gun that fires by the simple action of a trigger pull in an unlocked cabinet on a shelf that is about waist high and in reach of children. And that out of sadness and desperation Tera killed herself with that APD Glock 17.
With the children out of town and in Santa Rosa, Tera prepared for a weekend to put closure with Levi. She had told friends and family they were going to have one last go around and finalize details about co-parenting their kids. But once again, Levi did not fulfill his responsibilities and failed to show up Friday night for his weekend with Tera. He spent it with a girlfriend APD Officer Deborah Romero. Then after his Saturday evening dispatch at 1909 hours to the mobile home on Central SW with Russell Perea, Levi seems to have disappeared until Sunday morning when he wakes up in bed with Deborah Romero. But in testimony that is against her own interests, Romero states she does not know when Levi Chavez climbed in bed with her early Sunday morning.
Back in Los Lunas, Tera seems to have set the house up for a guest. She had called in sick to take the day off and spend with somebody. Perhaps it was for Levi like they planned. But when Levi once again failed her Friday night, perhaps it was for somebody else. A neighbor confirms that when they were backing out of their driveway Saturday they saw a marked APD police car also backing out of Tera Chavez’s driveway with Levi at the wheel.
But either way, Saturday evening Tera changed into her sleepwear, climbed into bed, and settled down to watch television keeping the remote control close by. No glass of wine nearby, no marijuana, no cell phone, no notepad and no Kleenex tissues. Kitchen organized with no mess.
The house was clean, and it was ready for the return of her children on Sunday, October 21, 2007. But by then Tera would be deceased.
During the night, the Glock issued by APD to Levi Chavez would be thrust in Tera’s mouth, fired and then left on her lap in an effort to appear as if she had done this herself. As we have said before; women do not shot themselves in the face or head.  The pain is in the heart and yes, being vein, they want to still look pretty.
But just as Levi Chavez had made mistakes and lied about being authorized to carry a gun when he wasn’t, when he lied to other APD women about relationships, when he lied about his whereabouts on duty, when he lied about work he did/didn’t do as a field cop, when he falsified APD documents, when he lied to his supervisors, and when he’d been so careful and thorough to show people where he was and what he was doing, there would be glaring mistakes at the murder scene on Ash Lane in Los Lunas….and there would be more mistakes by others sworn to uphold the law.

This is a good series so far and it is very hard to post a comment without being disgusted and upset. I thought I had followed the case pretty well from the beginning and through the so called trial. But this is the first I have heard of a neighbor witnessing a marked APD vehicle backing out of the Chavez driveway with Levi at the wheel. Did the neighbor decline to testify? Or did the DA's office find him/her not credible?? Levi testified that he didn't want to be bothered by Tera so he turns his cellphone off. He adds that she is possibly suicidal but he leaves a fully loaded weapon that he should be carrying per APD SOP at the residence. This was planned from the beginning and Levi had many women that he could use as alibis if needed. I only hope that the Cordova family get a great attorney for the civil suit against Levi. Please do not allow Levi to use the kids as leverage against you. Possibly allowing you to be in their lives as long as you drop the suit.....

Schultz should be forced to register as a sex offender after that disgusting interview with channel 4 yesterday. I had to disinfect my eyes after watching that pervert spew his lies and smug arrogance. How can such a pathetic specimen act like he does? I will tell you how. It's called not being placed in check. Looks like that is all coming to an end as this douche nozzel is introduced to the world of "mister".

Hey jeff,
You and your co-hipster twerp pal Dan should go eat some pop tarts. You buttholes get a big fat F for journalism ya jokers. APD brass laugh about owning you and your rag the journal.

A cop who's boots ray should be shining said...

Tom Joles nailed it when he called Shchultz on the shootings. Schultz said 2010 was an anomaly. No, it wasn't an anomaly. It is a trend because APD use of force training takes away the officer's descretion in using alternative means of apprehension in a deadly force situation. THIS is fact because I sat there and was told that I "will" use deadly force (a firearm) in a deadly force situation. I was also present when a pencil necked wet behind the eared punk swat cop asked a lateral how many people he had shot. With that said, there is also a culture of this shit too.
I also had to listen to instructors brag about how good APD's training is because they kill everyone thry shoot.

You know, if I had a personal favorite gun, and I wanted to kill someone with it and make it look like suicide, I'd probably consider doing them in with another gun as well...Too much time apart from the thing, sitting in evidence and awaiting trial, and all that....Levi strikes me as juuuust arrogant enough to do exactly that, although a smarter man(me!) would have used his favorite gun and worn his police-issue to work, so it was at least a little more believable..

Why can't someone just waste these fools, eye for an eye???

Schultz doesn't want or need the DOJ. Thats like saying the Jews in occupied Germany didn't need an allied invasion.

All I know is that someone needs to clean house in the police dept.Maybe interim chief Banks is just the man to do this. Our dept is an embarrassment with tales of infidelity, corruption, and these are the idiots that are hired to protect and serve?? They're protecting and serving THEMSELVES!!

Anonymous said...

Maybe Banks is the man to do it???? He can't even answer a question effectively. Every department in APD he's led has been a disaster. He's suspected of stealing property at crime scenes!

Anonymous said...

The stories of Banks stealing property has been going on for years. There have been witnesses who swear this is true, but he is not the only officer who has been busted. When is Dawne getting her job bsck, anyone have an update? The wife of the sergeant, Lynette,
should have kept her mouth shut.

Is Banks the guy who has Mary Han's $50K ring????? I bet it is.....POS....

This wife of APD Sgt, Lynette, was very outspoken of admin on other media outlets. Why the change of heart?

Anonymous said...

Lynette has a change of heart and her husband makes the Lt lists after being a rat.

Anonymous said...

She has many comments on her facebook page about how evil APD is. She made the comments public so I would call that slander.

Anonymous said...

This is what happens when APD promotes incompetence and indifference to the ranks of sgt and above, Mr. Schultz you are that perfect example of why APD is what it is today. I bet there are no mirrors in your hideouts.

Anonymous said...

Mary Han's ring - was that the only item stolen at the scene that the family knows of? Banks is a joke, regardless of his race or ethnicity which is more Latino than Black, by the way. Not that is matters, corruption is corruption and a-holes are a-holes.

you hit the nail on the head with that. remember when her husband was being disciplined and she went online and posted her feelings about the Lt, and chief and said she did not care because nothing could happen to her. hypocritical and what happened to her "christian ways"

What LDH is saying about her being "victimized"

Anonymous said...

The story on Levi Chavez is accurate and true. I was married to a cop once and I went thru hell he put me there. I raised our kids with very little help from him. Suicide was not one thing I thought of. My kids came first, so there if you all think Levi is not guilty after reading the facts then you to would cover up a muder of a spouse. I'm glad I'm still alive for my grown children. As for him he died at a very early age, too much party with his fellow officers and wives.
