Game and Fish Department spokesman James Pitman told  the Albuquerque Journal that the killing occurred Oct. 29. Pitman said bear hunting was in season then but that it’s illegal to shoot an animal on the edge of a public road. Pitman said the department has identified a suspect but not yet filed a case report. No information was available on the bear’s gender or size.
