Two people were killed in separate incidents around 14 hours apart in Albuquerque.
No arrests have been reported in either case.
Gilbert Gallegos, an Albuquerque Police Department spokesman, said officers responded sometime before 8:30 a.m. Saturday to reports of a dead person near Griegos and 12th NW.
He said officers found a man's body with "wounds indicating he was the victim of a violent crime."
"Homicide detectives are responding to start an investigation," Gallegos said.
On Friday evening, police spokesman Daren DeAguero said officers responded around 6:40 p.m. to gunfire in the 2900 block of Muriel NE, near Juan Tabo and Candelaria.
"Upon arrival, they discovered a lifeless individual," DeAguero said. "Currently, no suspects have been apprehended."
There have been 51 homicides investigated by the Albuquerque Police Department this year. By this time in 2022, which turned out to be a record-breaking year, APD had investigated 65 homicides in the city.
