We reported to you about this murder shortly after it happened. You can read our initial coverage below.
There is an CABQ/APD ‘Public Safety’ Office in downtown Albuquerque – do they ever #WalkTheBeat?
What if they would have been out in the neighborhood patrolling on that morning – they might have seen something! Local news stations are more stenography – than they are actually ‘journalists’ or muckrackers.
Police substation opens in downtown Albuquerque – Ryan Laughlin | KOB Updated: September 27, 2022 – 6:37 PM APD Chief Harold Medina says this is about adding another building block to the grander plan of making downtown safer, and bringing business back to the center of the Duke City. Some business owners say perception is as big of a problem as the crime itself. Por Vida means “for life” and the brothers behind the tattoo shop at Fourth and Coal know and live the meaning. They grew up not far from downtown Albuquerque. “Oh, I love it, yeah. We look out for each other, you know?” said Bale Sisneros, Por Vida tattoo owner.
My question is does anyone know why John bale got shot in the first place? Does his family know why he got shot??
It won’t be solved. Another poster knew more details about this murder after it happened than the cops did or do. Rumor is this was retaliation for – you guessed it…a murder committed by the dead guy and his brother. This dudes family and community can all talk about how great he was, however That’s usually the first sign the person was a degenerate. Let’s all be glad a drug dealing criminal who possibly murdered someone a few years ago and contributed to the decay and downfall of ABQ is dead.
How stupid can you be to see someone dressed like that, not in the winter time, and not get a gut reaction this doesn’t look right…. The killer isn’t local either. He was smart. In state or local team colors don’t draw attention, however the shoes and pants say northern Mexico style of dress. See the loafers and slight tapered jeans. Not typical of an Albuquerque resident or American style of dress.
You’d be a good detective. Maybe so good you wouldn’t be hired.
Dude is clearly wearing boots not loafers.
You’re right. As to the pants don’t most stores sell tapered jeans?
Of course the killer ain’t local or anywhere around because he’s to scared to show his face look obviously the guy that killed bale had to use gun like a pussy he is and couldn’t bang like a gangster with bale. Bales killer can hide all he wants and run all he wants and his people can hide him all they want but that won’t stop of any us from looking for bales killer. We are gonna keep looking for him no matter what even if it takes years. We will not give up on bale. Bakes killer he ain’t gonna get that far for sure he can even leave the state if he wants. But God will show Bales killer that he was wrong and he could have made thing right between him and Bale and worked it out. Bales killer will do every last penny in prison or death. John bales killer choose this path for himself and now he is gonna lay in it for good. Run all you want John bales killer and hide your face like pussy that you are. You mess with John bale you mess with all of the us that cared about it John bale. we will fight through thick and thin for John bale. We will make sure John bale gets his justice. RIP JOHN BALE❤️❤️
Fuck all you haters that hate on John bale. If the killer and the killers people got something to say people wanna step up. I got my hands ready for sure. No guns. Hands all day if you don’t got hands and you don’t know how to fight it really shows who’s a pussy for sure. We will see who is really gangster. Because hands tell all ❤️ of course a gun will kill someone fast. John bales killer couldn’t obviously couldn’t fight for shit thats why he had used gun like a pussy he is. John Bales killer couldn’t even handle his own because he’s so skinny he knew John Bale had hands and would have to kick his ass that’s why John Bale killer came with A gun like a LITTLE BITCH. YUP I SAID IT JOHN BALES KILLER IS A LITTLE BITCH OPPS!!!
Chief is a Moron. He couldn’t find his dick with both hands or even with the mayor’s mouth wrapped around it.
20th most dangerous city in the World.
They throw gays off roofs in the Middle East and we still rank above them in dangerous cities. Great Job.
To be honest, it’s 100% the fault of the residents. You keep voting for the same idiot mayor and criminal loving DA who won’t ask for more than 8 years for a convicted murderer if they are under 25 years old. Think I’m wrong. Look at the sentences for any convicted murder suspect in ABQ. All and I mean all are pleas down to manslaughter- they all get 8 years.
Way to go Albuquerque residents. Your real geniuses aren’t you. You did this to yourselves
Looks like someone’s been watching Hurricane Bianca… ‘they throw gays off of buildings in the middle-east”…. lol
The only reason why John bales killer knew what he was doing because John bales killer probably was in prison before I’m sure. Now john bales killer will get his for sure for what he did to bale. Your time is coming John bales killer trust me. And I can’t wait to see the day that day come for you because God knows what was right and what’ you did was wrong. Sorry for you John bales killer. You digged this hole for yourself now you gotta lay in it. You did this to yourself. Whatever consequence that God has for you. you deserve it in every way. Why don’t you take this up with God and let’s see who wins because I know damn well that it won’t be you John bales killer it will be God that wins everytime trust me. God will win over you remember that he is our Lord and savior and he rules over everyone because he will be the one that judges you and put the consequence on you for what you did to bale. Try fighting God because guess what john bales killer you won’t win. you will lose for sure. God stronger then you. Has so much more power then you. That’s why we have one God and one God only and that’s why we look up to God when things go wrong because we know God will take care of it.
Here are the other degrees of murder in New Mexico:
First degree
Premeditated killing, which is punished by life in prison
Second degree
Killing while committing a felony, which is punished by 7 to 14 years in prison.
John Bill’s killer will get 1st or 2st degree when they catch him. Or the killer could choose death for himself . I hope they give john bales killer 1st degree for life and I hope the courts see that it wasn’t right for John bale to die over someone who held a grudge against John bale when John bale was 100 with his people and kept it real. I heard John bales story about him being a gangster and him doing dumb stuff when he was out on the streets but remember John bale had a huge reason to leave the street life even when the street life took some of bales friends too of course it broke bales heart know that some of his homies are in heaven because of the street life. All you guys that talk bad about John bale think before you say something because walk in John bales shoes. I bet none of us could be as strong as bale when he was in the street life and what he went through out there and what he saw. Why don’t you get know John bales story before you say something bad about or talk shit about him or to his family. John bale left the street life because he wanted a better life for himself and his family and for those one he lost in the street life none you guys will ever understand how much heart break john went through just being in the street life and what hurt him the most of being in the street life. So John bale changed his life for better in all way and all you people just wanna keep run your mouth when you don’t know shit. The killer had the chance to fix what he was feeling towards bale and talk it out with bale. The killer could have done the right thing in every way but instead the killer killed bale not cool. So deal the consequences and what gets thrown in your face.
