A Zuni man was sentenced to seven years in federal prison for a firearms-related offence after a confrontation over a $40 debt.
There is no parole in the federal system.
According to court documents, on August 15, 2022, Ian Channing Lasiloo, 31, an enrolled member of the Zuni Tribe, drove to the residence of his cousin, John Doe.
Upon arrival, Lasiloo confronted John Doe with a handgun, demanding payment of a $40 debt. When John Doe denied owing the money, Lasiloo pointed the weapon at his face before aiming at the ground and firing.
The bullet struck John Doe in the left heel, causing a superficial wound that required treatment at Zuni Hospital.
Lasiloo was apprehended by law enforcement the following day. During questioning, he expressed remorse for his actions, stating that he had intended to frighten John Doe due to the alleged debt.
Upon his release from prison, Lasiloo will be subject to three years of supervised release.
