LAS CRUCES - The Montana woman allegedly killed by her brother in Las Cruces in March had a blood-alcohol content of .254 when she was shot, according to autopsy results issued Thursday.
Under New Mexico law, a blood-alcohol level of .08 is considered the threshold for drunken driving.
Denise "Deni" Zikmanis, 43, of Fort Benton, Mont., was allegedly shot in the head March 27 with a .40 caliber Beretta at her brother's home during an argument over the morality of smoking marijuana, according to court records.
Two days after the shooting, family elected to proceed with organ donation and she was removed from life support at University Medical Center of El Paso, according to Thursday's autopsy results from the Office of the Medical Investigator.
Her brother, Richard Scott Zikmanis, 40, an analyst with the Department of Defense's National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder. He remains at the Doña Ana County Detention Center, awaiting a court date.
Deni Zikmanis and three other family members had arrived in Las Cruces the afternoon of the shooting.
Richard Zikmanis told a detective he had armed himself just before everyone else went to bed, after which he and his sister stayed up drinking beer - and then hard liquor when they ran out.
He "later recalled putting the gun on the counter and knowing that he shot his sister," according to court documents. In addition, he allegedly admitted to police that four
or five years before, he consumed a lot of alcohol, pointed a shotgun at his wife and threatened her.---http://www.lcsun-news.com/

TEACHER ARRESTED ON SIX COUNTS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT...
Parents waiting to pick up their children at Las Vegas High School Thursday afternoon expressed concern and disgust with a teacher recently arrested for sexual misconduct with a student.
Spanish and theater teacher Jennifer Gardel, 30, was booked into the Clark County Detention Center Wednesday evening on six felony counts of sexual misconduct with a student.
A source close to the investigation said the arrest stemmed from Gardel's relationship with a 17-year-old male student.
As kids poured out the school near Sahara Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard Thursday, some parents said any allegation of sexual misconduct between a teacher and student needs to be taken seriously.
"She should have known the boundaries between a teacher and student," said William Ufret, a father of a freshman.
Cree Stanley, whose daughter is a Las Vegas High School freshman, wondered why Gardel couldn't find "men her own age."
"She's a grown woman," Stanley said. "She should understand that's somebody else's child."
Gardel was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on $18,000 bail, but jail records on Thursday indicated she was no longer at the facility.
Gardel did not return phone calls Thursday.
Clark County School District spokesman Michael Rodriguez said Gardel has been placed on paid administrative leave. She was hired by the district in August 2007, he said.
Rodriguez said "appropriate actions" will be taken in Gardel's case based on the criminal investigation.
