Ms Hutchins and director Joel Souza were shot on Thursday on the southern outskirts of Santa Fe.
Ms Hutchins died after being airlifted to hospital and Mr Souza is being treated at a medical centre for injuries sustained in the incident.
A spokesperson for Baldwin earlier said there was an accident involving the misfire of a prop gun with blanks.
Images of the 63-year-old actor — known for his roles in 30 Rock and more latterly for him impression of former President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live — showed him distraught outside the sheriff's office on Thursday.
Santa Fe County Sheriff's spokesman Juan Rios said detectives were investigating what type of projectile was discharged and how.
No immediate charges were filed.
It was not clear if Baldwin was performing at the time of the shooting or how many rounds were fired, and little was known about the weapon.
Prop guns fire blanks, gunpowder charges that produce a flash and a bang but not a hard projectile.
But when the trigger is pulled, the paper or plastic wadding is ejected from the barrel with enough force that it can be lethal at close range, as proved to be the case in the death of an actor in 1984.
In another accident in 1993, while filming the movie The Crow, actor Brandon Lee was killed after a bullet was left in a prop gun.
