It's unclear what exactly led Hice to believe he was being targeted.

Hice confessed to state police that he and others were traveling in multiple cars along NM State Road 68 Thursday night when he noticed a "blue vehicle approaching them at a high rate of speed" and thought it to be occupied by someone who would be a threat.

Instead, inside that blue car were Martinez and others police say aren't believed to have had "any prior involvement" with the suspects, adding they were mistakenly targeted.

Hice, along with 19-year-old Anton Martinez and 17-year-old Axel Zamarron, opened fire on the car.

On Sunday morning, NMSP officers announced the arrests of Hice, Martinez and Zamarron on charges of murder, shooting at or from a motor vehicle resulting in great bodily harm, conspiracy to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy of tampering with evidence in a capital offense, and tampering with evidence.

21-year-old Brittany Garcia, who was driving the car occupied by Hice and Martinez, is also in custody on charges of conspiracy of tampering with evidence in a capital offense and tampering with evidence.

The three other victims hospitalized after the shooting are in stable condition as of Sunday morning.
