Solomon Pena, former Republican candidate in New Mexico, arrested in series of shootings targeting the homes of Democratic politicians.

Chief Harold Medina of the Albuquerque Police Department said at a news conference that the former candidate, Solomon Peña, was “the mastermind” behind a conspiracy in which four other men were paid to shoot at the homes of two county commissioners and two state legislators.

Mr. Peña lost the election in a landslide to an incumbent Democrat, Miguel Garcia, but refused to concede after making unfounded claims of election fraud.

Chief Medina said a gun that was found during the arrest of another suspect in the shootings last week was later linked to Mr. Peña.
