Maria Cristina Ragonese has filed a lawsuit against the city of Santa Fe, alleging a lack of transparency following the 2023 death of her son, according to reporting from the Santa Fe New Mexican.
The lawsuit centers on the investigation into the shooting death of Ragonese’s son. Ragonese stated she encountered difficulties obtaining information from the Santa Fe Police Department regarding the case. She indicated that after communicating with “higher-ups” within the department, she felt her concerns were not adequately addressed.
Details of the shooting itself remain limited in publicly available reports. The Santa Fe New Mexican reported that Ragonese’s lawsuit alleges a failure to provide timely and complete information about the investigation.
Separately, KRQE News 13 reported on opening statements in a trial involving a different case in Santa Fe, concerning a woman accused in a crash that resulted in the death of a Santa Fe police officer and a retired firefighter. This trial is unrelated to the Ragonese case but highlights ongoing legal proceedings within the city.
Facebook profiles exist for individuals named Maria Cristina Ragonese, but these profiles do not contain information directly related to the lawsuit or the circumstances surrounding her son’s death.
