ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Three people were killed in Albuquerque in separate incidents over a 24-hour period on Friday and a fourth person was fighting for his life as homicide detectives worked to piece together evidence in each of the cases.

The most recent case involves a man who was apparently shot on the 7800 block of East Central at around 10 p.m.

Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Daren DeAguero said the man was transported to University of New Mexico Hospital, where he died of his injury. DeAguero said in a news release late Friday that no suspect was in custody in that incident.

Double stabbing

Roughly three hours before that incident – at about 7 p.m. – officers responded to a domestic dispute at the Chelsea Village apartments near Louisiana and Montgomery NE, DeAguero said.

Police found a man and woman with stab wounds at an apartment. The woman died at UNMH and the man is in critical condition, he said.

DeAguero said homicide detectives are investigating and gave no other details.

Gunshot victim

The first incident involved a gunshot victim who was taken to an Albuquerque Fire Rescue station near Central and Pennsylvania. Investigators were on scene at the fire station at 123 Dallas NE at about 1:30 a.m., according to Sgt. Tanner Tixier, another APD spokesman. He said officers were trying to determine where that shooting occurred.

“Initial dispatch information stated that a female had shown up to the AFR Station with a wounded male victim in her vehicle,” Tixier said in a news release. “That male victim eventually died as a result of his injuries.”

Police have not released the names or ages of any of the victims, nor have they released suspect information.
