Man Dies in Vehicle While Being Transported by Bystander Following Shooting

Albuquerque –

Around 1 PM, Albuquerque Police officers responded to a shooting reported in the 120 block of San Pedro SE. When officers arrived, they found one person dead inside a vehicle.

Witnesses said they saw a car driving in the neighborhood, and a call came in reporting that a person had a gunshot wound. When officers arrived, they found a male with a gunshot wound in the vehicle. Rescue personnel tried to render aid but were unsuccessful.

APD officers are actively searching for the location where the male was initially shot.

This is the second homicide investigation in the last 24 hours and the 88th homicide of 2024.

UPDATE:

On September 11th just after 1PM Albuquerque Ambulance called to report that they had rolled up on a deceased male in a car near the intersection of San Pedro and Central SE.  Apparently a person was driving a male to a hospital in a private vehicle after he had been shot. The man who was shot, had apparently been shot somewhere near the International War Zone District Library according to a witness.  The person driving the private vehicle flagged down the ambulance for help but the ambulance personnel discovered the man in the back of the car was already dead of a gunshot wound. 

APD Detectives and the Major Crime Scene Team personnel were responding to take over the investigation.  

This is an on-going investigation.  We will update this story if we learn more information.

This is the 88th homicide of 2024 for the Albuquerque Metro area.
