The Last 30 Hours of Homicides Cases Being Investigated

Earlier the previous day, around 3:30 AM, another shooting took place at Montgomery Park near San Mateo Blvd and Comanche NE. Shortly after, a vehicle involved in the incident crashed near 6801 Montgomery Blvd NE, leading to a second shooting.

The violence escalated when a suspect, after crashing his Subaru in Montgomery Park, attempted to carjack a brightly colored vehicle occupied by TikToker TophiaChu, her mother, and her brother. The suspect fatally shot her brother and critically wounded her mother before stealing the car, leaving the victims inside. He crashed into a jeep and an apartment complex security guard saw what was happening and shot and killed the suspect.

At 6:50 PM on March 11, a 911 caller reported a shooting near 57th St NW and Central Ave NW, close to Albuquerque Fire Rescue’s Station 7. The call indicated that a woman had been shot and was in full cardiac arrest. When officers arrived, they found her receiving medical care from AFR outside AFR’s Station 7. She was transported to UNMH, where she later died.
