Overview

  • Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer for the film 'Rust,' was released from a New Mexico prison on May 23, 2025, after serving 18 months for involuntary manslaughter.
  • The conviction stemmed from the 2021 on-set shooting in which actor Alec Baldwin discharged a prop gun loaded with live ammunition, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.
  • Gutierrez-Reed's parole conditions include electronic monitoring, a curfew, mental health assessments, and a prohibition on firearms ownership or contact with Hutchins' family.
  • Alec Baldwin, originally charged with involuntary manslaughter, had his case dismissed in 2024 due to prosecutorial misconduct, while Gutierrez-Reed was convicted for negligence in handling on-set firearms.
  • The film 'Rust,' completed in Montana, was released earlier this month, years after the fatal shooting halted production.
