Electrocuted tagger dies

SANTA FE -- The 18-year-old graffiti vandal shocked and burned when he was tagging a Santa Fe electrical substation died this morning.

Police say Aaron Vigil was burned over 80 percent of his body on Wednesday after he was shocked by 115,000 volts of electricity.

Vigil was flown to a Phoenix burn hospital where he died.

The incident set of a computer crash that brought the state Motor Vehicle Division to a standstill.

PNM officials said Vigil climbed a 20-foot wall topped with razor wire to get into the substation. They also said a spray of paint would be enough to conduct electricity.

Police said they are seeking two other people believed to have been inside the substation with Vigil.
