Albuquerque –

On Thursday, April 10, a shooting was reported at the parking lot of Walmart, located at 3500 Coors Blvd. SW. According to fire radio transcripts, Bernalillo County Fire Rescue arrived on scene near the Panda Express and located a vehicle with multiple victims who were bleeding. One video we received showed one victim who was shot in the face. BCFR requested Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office to respond.

Another showed two teenagers running from the scene with one grabbing the front of his waistband. It is unclear if these were suspects or two people running away from the chaos of the shooting.

The Albuquerque Police Department arrived on scene initially for this incident, and APD secured the scene. There were two victims who had gunshot wounds. Both were transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital. At the time of transport, the victim with the gunshot wound to the face was said to have been in critical condition. However, this was later updated to both victims having non-life-threatening injuries.

After several hours, the case was given to BCSO. They are investigating this as a robbery of a phone, not road rage. BCSO reports that one victim is an aggravated assault victim, while the other is a robbery victim. 

BCSO states that no offenders have been identified at this time and despite multiple witnesses seeing people being detained and in patrol cars, no one was officially taken into custody or charged. BCSO states that “this is an active and on-going investigation. Our detectives are working with APD to identify suspects in this case.
