Albuquerque –
Just before midnight, the Albuquerque Police Department responded to a shooting at the 1800 block of Indian School Road NW, near the Valley Apartments. APD officers discovered multiple people suffering from gunshot wounds upon their arrival.
According to a witness at the apartment complex, four people reportedly died on scene and one was transported to a local area hospital. The victim transported to UNMH was purportedly in critical condition at the time of transport.
Residents in the area told ABQ RAW about a party that had been happening at the apartment all afternoon and into the evening.
The scene is very active as APD officers and detectives are searching the area for a suspect. To reiterate, authorities have not yet caught the suspect. APD is urging residents in the area to stay inside and lock their doors. Authorities from APD released a statement saying “residents can call 911 if they need to reach police.”
We have a reporter headed to the scene.
This is a developing story, if we learn more, we will update you.
UPDATE:
As of 1:25AM, we believe APD may have one suspect in custody.
Residents living in the area will still see a large police presence. Homicide detectives and crime scene specialists are working to process the scene and document evidence.
Albuquerque Fire sent this statement at 1:55AM:
At 1150 pm on August 31st, AFR Units responded with APD to a shooting at 1808 Indian School Rd NW. E10 arrived first on scene to find four adult males not breathing, deceased due to gunshot wounds. A female was transported from the scene to a local hospital by AAS. She did not sustain any gunshot injuries but was experiencing a medical problem. APD is investigating and have arrested a few persons of interest. Albuquerque Fire Rescue stood by for about 90 minutes until the situation was resolved. No other information is available at this time.
The four* potential homicides cap off one of the deadliest months in recent years in Albuquerque. August 2024 ended with 22 homicides.
UPDATE 2:
At 2:18 AM, APD’s civilian PIO, Gilbert Gallegos, sent out a statement saying:
“Officers took an individual into custody. The scene is secure.”
Gallegos went on to say:
“Four individuals are confirmed to be deceased as a result of gunshot wounds.”
*UPDATE 3:
APD determined this was a triple murder and a suicide. The homicide total for this mass killing was three. Suicides do not count in homicide totals.
I was able to receive more info from here than the news.
Where has this news source been? This is how news should be. Straight forward and detailed. I bet you all would report all news with any bias on things as well the way news should be.
That should have said: without any bias. You have a new reader for sure.
Hi Lisa, we are truly appreciative of your kind words and continued support. Our dedication to delivering prompt and reliable news is especially vital during times of heightened public safety concerns, such as when local officials advise residents to shelter in place. ABQ RAW wants to ensure that Albuquerque residents have the information they need to stay safe and protect their loved ones. Thank you again. Stay safe.
If it was up the Democrap ran state, they would hide all crime from being public.
Good for you, Albuquerque! It took less than a week to put us back on track toward record homey-cides in 2024.
I wish we could get this stuff under control. I love NM but it is quickly losing its reputation for great green chile and beautiful scenery to just the scenes of most crime and amongst top dangerous states.
Albuquerque is overrun with feral, criminal vermin. There is only one way for civilized, Better citizens to effectively deal with such infestation.
I’m sorry but “vermin”
I bet you were the same one who said that when my son was shit and killed by APD
have some compassion they are someone’s Son,Daughter, Father,Mother,
Brother ,Sister
You act like u are untouchable God forbid it could very well be one of your loved ones
People are in REAL RAW PAIN and ur inconsiderate ass called them “vermin’
I will pray for you
I neither know nor care who your little hito was, but yes, I am confident APD shot him because he was feral, criminal vermin. Good for them!
Cry over his bullet-riddled corpse all you want, mamacita. Productive, non-criminal, Better citizens benefitted from his removal from what little civilization still remains in this rotting city.
Democraps enable and reward crime. Look at the trend in any blue ran city/state.
I can’t help but wonder if the recent spike in crime and homicides has anything to do with how Venezuelan gangs have allegedly been setting up in Denver and Aurora to our north. I feel like Albuquerque would also be a major target as a prominent city closer to the US-Mexico border (and along the same route as Denver). We live in frightening times either way, unfortunately.
It’s enabling criminals, allowing looters, rioters, and domestic terrorists to do what every they want without prosecution too. Like water over a rock, that eventually changes it. They get so used to it, mob mentality becomes an optional way of life. Zero accountability, and people get upset when you try to raise their standards. They even get angry when you try to instill manners in their adult mijo, with
please or thank you.” NM’s hate change or improvement. Even the women come to love their useless adult males, as they yip in defense- “it’s cultural” or “that’s just the New Mexico way.” I am in awe how many working middle aged adults will enable their adult children.
You should be more in awe at all the informants helping the police in Albuquerque. They are allowed to commit more crimes until finally even the police start to notice but it takes a lot of crimes before their taken off the street. It’s disgusting and a waste of taxpayers money.
Thank you ABQ RAW.
Very sad news,will you keep posting any updates? This hits close to home and feel the need to know if it is safe to go near this area.
Hello Naomi, this is indeed very sad news. We just learned that APD will be providing an update at 2 PM. According to APD’s civilian PIO’s statement last night, the scene was secure, indicating police don’t believe there’s a current threat to the public. Following the 2 PM press conference, we’ll either update this article or publish a new one. Stay safe.
Thank you.
Keep voting blue and this will keep coming from those thug hugging pieces of shit like Javier Martinez! Liberals love criminals and degenerates!
