Tafoya shot two men, Gerald Lee Skillman, and Steven Francis Rita to death during a drug-related robbery.

Black soot surrounded the entry wound on his head, indicating the gun was only inches from his head when fired.

One bullet entered his left thigh and exited through his right upper back. A second bullet entered Rita's left arm, went through his shoulder, and entered the base of his skull, lodging behind the left ear lobe. Rita was shot from four to five feet away. Both Skillman and Rita had substantial amounts of methamphetamine in their systems at the time of death.
