BERNALILLO COUNTY, N.M. — Newly-released lapel video shows what Bernalillo County deputies saw as they arrested a man accused of killing three family members and their dog.

Deputies arrested 24-year-old Adlai Mestre for allegedly shooting and killing his mom, dad, 17-year-old sister and even their family dog about a month ago.

According to BCSO, Mestre has a history of being treated at a mental health hospital.
