Natalie Gomez, the sister of Alan Gomez, who was killed by the Albuquerque police, attended a rally last year protesting the use of lethal force.

The investigation, which comes after a preliminary federal inquiry into the department, will focus on accusations that officers used excessive force, including unreasonable deadly force, when dealing with civilians.
