Author: The Daily News Now! April 21, 2026 Duration: 1:11

Andrew Begay, a 29-year-old man from Farmington, is charged with first-degree murder after allegedly stabbing Eli Newton, a 43-year-old, to death just weeks after his release from jail. The incident occurred on April 15th, with Newton found with multiple stab wounds at a home in the 400 block of East Broadway. Begay, who had blood on his hands and admitted to the stabbing, claimed Newton was like an uncle through clan ties, but his story kept changing. Begay was homeless, on probation for drug possession, and released on March 31st while appealing a violation. Prosecutors describe the incident as a random act of violence with no clear motive, and Begay is currently in custody awaiting trial.
