Albuquerque Police Department (APD) homicide detectives have arrested Tyvon Leno, 26, for the overnight stabbing death of his brother, Ozal Leno, in Downtown Albuquerque.

The two brothers, both from Acoma Pueblo, were in a vehicle with their mother and two other men around 2 a.m. After visiting bars and nightclubs in Downtown, the group got into a minivan, and the brothers began arguing. Their mother told detectives she pleaded with them to stop fighting, but the argument turned physical.

According to a witness inside the van, Ozal Leno, 28, reportedly punched Tyvon Leno before Tyvon stabbed Ozal in the neck. Although the others in the car said they did not see a knife, Ozal began bleeding profusely from the neck. Tyvon then fled from the van, while their mother tried to stop Ozal’s bleeding. One of the other men drove the group to an urgent care center on the West Side, where Ozal died from his wound.

    1. She didn’t seem too concerned for the bleeding one to get him to an actual trauma unit, like the 3 within a few miles of downtown. I am going to bet the mother was a typical lowlife herself who raised another couple of lowlifes. One lowlife decided to shank the other. She will get him back in a few years in this state. Since this was a domestic incident, I bet they plea it down to something like manslaughter and assault with a deadly weapon. At most he gets sentenced to 10 years and will out in 5.
