Albuquerque –
APD says their Multi-Agency Task Force (MATF) are investigating the death of a man during a SWAT activation. The man apparently chose to kill himself instead of being captured alive.
A spokesman says officers in the Valley Area Command responded Sunday around 9:00PM to a report of domestic violence at 1119 Santa Fe Ave. S.W., which is near the Albuquerque Biopark. Officers set up a perimeter and attempted to get the man to exit the residence.
SWAT officers were called to take over the scene around 11:10PM. As SWAT officers attempted to make approach the man, they learned he was already dead inside the home. Investigator have preliminarily determined the man died by suicide.
APD goes on to say that the MATF will continue to investigate the death.
