Jury Finds Chacon Guilty in Norsworthy Murder | Albuquerque News

A jury convicted Jarrett Chacon of first-degree murder and robbery in the 2023 death of Larry Norsworthy, sentencing him to at least 30 years — with no parole until then. What started as a case dismissed as natural causes became a gripping legal battle after Norsworthy’s family relentlessly pushed for justice. The trial turned on Jasmine Trujillo’s testimony — a key witness who’d already pleaded guilty to second-degree murder — despite her shaky credibility. Prosecutors admitted her flaws but insisted she told the truth: Chacon entered the apartment armed. An autopsy revealed fatal injuries from broken ribs, compounded by meth use and health issues — initially misclassified as natural. Security footage, uncovered during another investigation, sealed Chacon’s fate, showing him and Trujillo near the scene on the day of the killing.
