"New Mexico\u2019s attorney general is now looking into the shooting death of James Boyd.The FBI, New Mexico State Police and Albuquerque Police Department are already investigating the case.VIDEO: NM AG joins APD, FBI, NMSP in Boyd investigation\u201CThis is a case that particularly calls out for an independent investigation and independent decision on how we should move forward,\u201D said N.M. AG Gary King. \u201COur office, as part of our job, is to look at issues where there might be police misconduct.\"As seen on an officer\u2019s helmet camera, Boyd was fatally shot in the foothills this past month following a three-hour standoff with police. The events surrounding his death are already under investigation by several agencies, but King is forming his own team of investigators to review video and other evidence.Charges may be filed following the investigation.\"Whenever there's a death that occurs, there's obviously issues of whether there's a homicide that occurred,\u201D said King. \u201CWe have a number of investigators in our agency that formerly worked for APD, so they might have some insight.\u201DKing said the U.S. Department of Justice is going to be looking at primarily if there are violations of civil rights or federal laws -- his office will be looking at violations of state laws. He said his team\u2019s findings won\u2019t be released any time soon, and that there is a lot of evidence to dig through.There\u2019s no timeline as to when the investigation will be completed.\u00A0"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
