- Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer for the movie Rust, was released on May 23, 2025, after completing an 18-month sentence in a New Mexico prison.
- Her conviction for involuntary manslaughter stems from a fatal shooting on the Rust set in 2021, where Alec Baldwin discharged a revolver that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

- Judge Sommer sentenced her to 18 months for turning a safe gun into a lethal one and placed her on parole with terms including mental health assessments and firearm bans.
- The shooting's fallout included dismissed charges against Baldwin and ongoing supervision of Gutierrez-Reed, illustrating continued legal and personal impacts from the incident.
