One dead, one critically injured in overnight incident.
Albuquerque police have blocked off a wide area around 11th and Marquette NW this morning as they follow a trail of blood from the scene of an overnight stabbing.
An unidentified male was found dead at the scene when police responded to a report around 2:30 a.m. of a stabbing in the 300 block of 11th NW. A woman in her late 20s, also unidentified, was taken to University of New Mexico Hospital where she remains in critical condition, said APD spokeswoman Officer Trish Hoffman.
"There was obviously some sort of altercation," said Hoffman, who said police found a blood trail that extended northward almost to Interstate 40.
Whether the blood belonged to a third person who may be a suspect in the stabbing or to one of the victims who doubled back to the scene is unknown at this time, said Hoffman.
