Albuquerque –

Around the middle of the day on January 22nd, 2025, the Albuquerque Police Department observed a black Jeep SUV driving erratically in traffic on metro city streets. APD’s Air Support plane observed the SUV driving like a madman on north second St. Officers noted that the vehicle was stolen. APD officers at one point attempted a traffic stop at a local business but the vehicle fled. APD identified the driver as, 35-year-old Samuel Lopez-Lozano of Albuquerque.

APD officers on the ground did not engage in the pursuit however on one occasion, the car was seen by Air Support jumping the median and almost colliding with another vehicle. As the driver continued his mayhem, he nearly struck a motorcyclist. He then crashed into a few vehicles on 4th and Montano and continued his dangerous driving southbound on 2nd street towards Osuna Rd NW.

The driver eventually drove east bound on a dead end road on Roehl Rd NW where Lopez-Lozano ditched the vehicle near a home. Two occupants a male driver (Lopez-Lozano) and a female got out of the vehicle and fled on foot towards the train tracks between Edith and 2nd Streets. APD officers were able to contain the pair and got them into custody on Edith. The male driver Lopez-Lozano was arrested and the female driver apparently knew nothing about anything so she was released after being detained for a short time.

The charges for Lopez-Lozano are reckless driving, aggravated fleeing law enforcement, and receiving transferring a stolen vehicle. He has a felony record in New Mexico dating back to 2017 with most charges being stolen vehicle charges. Most of those cases were dismissed for a variety of reasons. It is almost certain Lopez-Lozano will be free soon to steal more cars and wreak more havoc on our city streets.

  1. No, it’s called really not knowing anything. And having nothing to do with the situation except for getting a ride. And this story is all wrong, you guys really need to get your facts straight. Ridiculous

    1. I’d say if all the female occupant was doing was getting a ride, she really got a RIDE! IF it was only getting a ride after all the speeding, driving erratically, hitting other cars…. why did she flee with him? Seems like she knew something to me. Otherwise, if she was completely innocent, knew nothing about anything, she should have stopped when the chase started.

  2. Another splendid example of our rich and diverse cultural heritage hard at work doing what they do best!!!! Thank you Dreamy Mayor Timmy and Gomer Medina. We can always count on you to make the worst of Albuquerque even worser!!!

    Yes, the courts are staffed with moron judges, but YOU two are the ones who need to be disappeared more than anything. Same with the chipmunk in Santa Fe.

    1. Wow, lol worser is not a proper English word. At least I have some what of an education. For all you who got something rude to say about the girl that was involved, Im right here. So speak your mind, im all ears. Tell me who I am or what I am because all of you know right? I know I made a mistake shoot we all make mistakes. But its about learning from those mistakes to become a better Person not only for yourself but for those around you. You guys should stop being so judgmental without knowing the facts. I was there and know what happen and abqraw is falsifying information. The horrible part is they just want a story and dont care about the facts if its to boring.

      1. If you are indeed the passenger that was involved with this idiot you’re lucky to be alive. Samuel showed no regard for your well-being. Might want to reevaluate your life choices before they kill you.
