Full coverage: The fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the ‘Rust’ set

Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, was killed in an incident involving a prop gun being handled by actor and producer Alec Baldwin on the New Mexico set of the film “Rust” in October 2021.

Hutchins, who worked on indie features like “Archenemy,” “Blindfire” and “The Mad Hatter,” had been selected as one of American Cinematographer’s Rising Stars of 2019.

The film’s director Joel Souza was injured in the incident.

In January 2023, New Mexico charged Baldwin with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins’ death. In April 2023, the criminal charges against Baldwin were dropped. Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter again in January 2024.

Prosecutors also filed involuntary manslaughter charges against armorer Hannah Gutierrez, who loaded the gun. Assistant director David Halls accepted a misdemeanor charge in a plea deal.

A New Mexico jury found Gutierrez guilty of involuntary manslaughter after a trial that ended in March 2024.

New Mexico First Judicial District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer scheduled Baldwin’s trial to begin with jury selection on July 9.
