Santa Fe boy dead following incident at Roswell military school

A teen boy from Santa Fe died under unclear circumstances following an incident last month at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, where he was attending school, officials have confirmed. Public officials had provided little information as of Wednesday about the incident that preceded the death of 16-year-old Juan Geovanny Sagche López. Sagche López was a cadet at the school, which is a public, state-run military boarding high school and junior college in the southeastern New Mexico city. An incident involving the teenage boy that brought police and emergency workers to the school occurred Oct. 17. Officers from Roswell Police Department were dispatched in response to the incident, but the New Mexico Military Institute handled the investigation “in house,” an employee at the law enforcement agency said in a phone call this week. The agency was notified of Sagche López’s death by forensic investigators Oct. 22.
