Statement from #JacobJohns about the plea deal, saying:
"'This was a #HateCrime. This is a continuation of #colonial violence. Unfortunately, this criminal process is reflective of the systemic #WhiteSupremacy that Indigenous peoples face. The shooter motivated by hatred got 9.5 years, but will actually be in prison for half that time. Just imagine if I shot a person at a MAGA rally or a Christian prayer service I’d be put away for life. And all we were doing was having a peaceful sunrise ceremony – we went there to pray and our prayers were answered because the Oñate statue still does not stand.
"We live in a sick society where a man with a MAGA hat would come with a loaded gun and commit political and racial violence; though the police were on notice of that violence they weren’t there to protect us.
"The lifelong scars and injuries, loss of an internal organ, mental anguish and trauma will be with me forever – and in a couple of years Martinez will live free.
"I don’t want to end with the anger I feel inside. I want to express that Indigenous prayers and lifeways work. Pueblo people will always stand together and maintain a continuity of resistance to white supremacy and the destruction of the Earth."

Man sentenced after pleading no contest to charges in #Oñate protest shooting [of #JacobJohns]
Jonathan Fjeld, Updated: October 8, 2024
ESPAÑOLA, N.M. — "A plea deal has been reached in the case of a man accused of a shooting last year at a protest over a Juan de Oñate statue.
"Ryan Martinez pleaded no contest Monday to aggravated battery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. A judge subsequently sentenced him to 9.5 years, which includes a firearm enhancement. Martinez will serve a minimum of four years as a result of his plea to a serious violent offense.
"The state agreed to dismiss a possible hate crime enhancement as a part of the plea deal.
"The court scheduled jury selection to begin Monday for Martinez’s trial. Prosecutors accused him of shooting and wounding Jacob Johns at a protest last September in Española.
"One group was celebrating the postponement of the rededication of the Oñate statue. A smaller group stood by, arguing that officials were ignoring their culture and history. For the most part, they stayed separate, until one individual jumped a wall and ran toward the protesters.
"Video showed the Oñate protesters trying to tackle the man as he ran toward the group. The video showed protesters ripping off his 'Make America Great Again' hat as he jumped back over the wall. Then, the video showed that man firing one shot that hit a protester.
"Medics arrived about 10 minutes later and took the shooting victim to the hospital.
"Witnesses said the man drove away in a white Tesla. They identified him as 23-year-old Ryan Martinez. They also described him as a known online troll who often riled up crowds at protests. New Mexico State Police arrested him later that day and confirmed it was Martinez.
"A judge ruled to keep Martinez in jail until his trial."

#NativeAmerican artist's new show includes painting of man accused of shooting him
By Nicholas Gilmore, Jul 9, 2024
"For #JacobJohns, painting a portrait of the man accused of trying to kill him was a sort of exercise in healing.
"The Spokane, Wash.-based artist and activist on Tuesday afternoon stood next to his own five-foot-tall painting of Ryan Martinez, who is accused of having shot Johns last September at a protest in Española.
"The plan, Johns said, is to turn the painting into a work of collaborative art by leaving markers next to the portrait and encouraging visitors to the exhibition to contribute to it."

An update on #JacobJohns and the trial of his assailant...
Civil suit over #Oñate shooting settled out of court
By KOB
May 8, 2024ESPAÑOLA, N.M. – "It was a scary afternoon in Española last fall when a fight broke out between protesters and a counterprotester near the site of a proposed #JuanDeOñate statue.
"Video shows a shooter pulling out a gun and firing one shot before fleeing the scene.
"23-year-old Ryan Martinez is charged with that shooting. The victim, Jacob Johns, was taken to the hospital. He was there for more than a month and underwent multiple surgeries.
"'He lost his spleen, he is missing parts of his liver, his stomach, and his pancreas. So it was an incredibly serious wound that he received,' said John Day, attorney for Jacob Johns.
"Back in January, he sued Martinez and his family for assault, battery, personal injury and negligence.
"'The lawsuit itself explains that the parents were the ones who were aware, and under the claims of the civil lawsuit, were aware of the situation. Beyond that I can’t discuss more terms of it,' Day said.
"The lawsuit claimed Martinez’s parents knew he was 'obsessed with guns.' Reportedly, there was an incident where neighbors called the cops after seeing Martinez walk around heavily armed late at night.
"Back in 2018, Martinez was reportedly questioned by the FBI for making threatening posts online.
"This week, the civil case was settled. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but this isn’t the end of this case. The criminal trial of Martinez is only a few months away.
"'He is looking forward to having his day in court basically in this criminal case as the victim of this shooting. Jacob is really pleased that the elected DA is the one taking the case to trial. And it will be up to the DA to determine who she calls, but it would make sense for Jacob to testify because he was the one who got shot,' Day said.
"The criminal case is set to start in early July. Johns is listed as a witness, but it is unclear at this time if he will take the stand."
