Overview

  • Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was released from a New Mexico prison on May 23, 2025, after serving part of an 18-month sentence for involuntary manslaughter.
  • The conviction stems from the 2021 on-set shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza during a rehearsal involving Alec Baldwin.
  • Gutierrez-Reed is now under dual probation and parole supervision in Arizona, with restrictions including a prohibition on firearm ownership.
  • Jurors acquitted her of evidence-tampering charges, and she is appealing her manslaughter conviction in a higher court.
  • The Western film 'Rust,' completed in Montana, was released theatrically earlier this month despite the legal fallout from the shooting incident.
