Albuquerque police investigate city’s 100th homicide of year

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police in Albuquerque say they are investigating the city’s 100th homicide case so far this year. Police say officers responded to a shots fired call around 4:30 a.m. Saturday. They found a car that looked like it crashed into someone’s yard and the person inside had at least one gunshot wound. Police say that person died on the scene. No other information on the victim has been released yet. Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina says “hitting 100 is a grim reminder of the violence that’s occurring in the city.” He says Albuquerque “won’t get anywhere without the community working together” and a cultural change is needed to stop the violence.
