Albuquerque –
At around 6:20 PM on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, a caller phoned 911 to report a shooting in the area of 8500 Old Cottonwood Ave SW at the Anderson Mesa Park. While en-route, an additional caller reported this shooting stating someone was shot and was needing assistance.
When officers from the Albuquerque Police Department arrived on scene, they found a juvenile teen male with a gunshot wound.
Two other juveniles involved fled the scene in a car. Houses around the park have bullet impacts from the gunfight.
At the time of this posting, the teen struck by gunfire is in critical condition. APD is blocking off streets around the park so detectives can investigate and process this scene.
UPDATE:
We have since learned that the teen who was shot died at the scene. APD homicide detectives and crime scene specialists are responding to this location.
We have a reporter at the scene trying to gather more information.
Absolutely ridiculous

Looks like we broke 130 for the year.
One less Edgar terrorizing our streets. You won’t be missed, lil buddy.
You’re an imbecile
Why would you say that my son dresses like an Edgar and he’s the nicest kid you’ll ever meet? He’s in sports goes to school just because they wanna fit in and dress the current style Does it mean that they’re bad kids! He goes and offers to clean yards to make money because he’s 15 a lot of companies won’t hire under 16. God bless you for your rude comments!!! But that kid that was killed was someone’s child. I’m curious to know who he was because we live near the area.
you won’t be missed either for saying that stupid stuff and I hope you rest in shit
Replying to: splitting headache
I’m in my 70’s. I’ve often thought back to some of the things my friends and I did when we were young, and thought “Man, we were dumb.” But guess what…we were never THIS dumb. This is beyond stupid. These kids are too impaired to even know how embarrassed they should be.
Good! One less piece of shit dead! I am glad this gutter garbage got what he deserved.
What do you mean? He was a wonder person. He had a great relationship with his family, had lots of friends, volunteered at the church and worked 75 hours a week at the local animal shelter. He was truly a saint and had absolutely no criminal history or involvement. He was at the park that night teaching a free CPR class to everyone in the neighborhood. He was assassinated by someone who was jealous of all his accomplishments and accolades.
Yeah I know, I heard he was an alter boy and every sunday went out and handed out blankets and food to the homeless. He was such a good boy, he wasn’t gettin gangsta wit it like Diddy, hahaha.
Did I miss something? no where in the report does it say “he was a gang member” or “he was a known trouble maker” nor does it state ANY kind of weapon was found around him or even in the same park…. more then likely this kid was an innocent victim of people not knowing nor caring about how to shoot a fricking firearm.
I know this kid and he was not a gang member. He was a polite good kid. My grandsons best friend. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. The police have not said he was carrying a gun. This group of kids would hang out almost daily at my house and play games. This young man spent a lot of time with his grandparents. This was a child, 15. People please wait to hear the whole story before assuming the worst. May God Bless lil Manny and his family.
Is there any updates on this case?
[…] APD says their detectives arrested two teen-age suspects who are accused in the murder of a 15-year-old boy during an attempt to sell a gun on New Year’s Eve. This was the final reported homicide of 2024 in the Duke City. […]
So yes doesn’t define he was a troubled child but seems to me that he was a scared one. Sad our world has come to everyone carrying guns over kids being stupid with them. Scared children shot instead of fight. How sad. When a 15 and 14 year old are buying guns there’s a problem. My condolences to the family of the deceased child.
