On the early morning of July 22, 2023, tragedy struck the community as Rosanna Breuninger, a female bicyclist, fell victim to a hit-and-run incident in the vicinity of 12th St NW and Los Arboles Ave NW. The incident unfolded between the hours of midnight and 01:56AM, leaving Breuninger injured and in need of immediate assistance.
Breuninger was later found deceased at her home address near 2nd St NW and Mescalero Rd NW, Breuninger’s personal items are missing such as her purse and cell phone. A white or silver sedan is believed to be the vehicle that transported Breuninger to her residence. ABQ RAW first reported Breuninger’s murder on July 22, 2023 and observed APD’s homicide detectives combing the area for evidence. They were looking in dumpsters and speaking with neighbors on possible leads with the case. At one point during the investigation, we saw APD Motor’s Unit on scene trying to figure out the case.
This white or silver sedan is believed to be the vehicle that transported Rosanna to her residence.
