A woman and her child are stable after the mother’s ex-boyfriend shot her through a car window on Sunday, according to police.
On Sunday afternoon, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office responded to a gas station on the 700 block of Wagner SE to a call about a woman who had been shot in the chest, BCSO spokesperson Deanna Aragon said.
When deputies arrived, they found a 29-year-old woman who had been shot. She was transported to the University of New Mexico Hospital, Aragon said. The woman has since been discharged from the hospital.
Earlier that day, the Albuquerque Police Department received a call from that same woman, who said her ex-boyfriend had shot through her windshield with her 4-year-old daughter in the back seat, according to APD spokesperson Gilbert Gallegos. The child was not injured.
The shooting happened near Pauza and Colobel SW, which is near 98th Street.
Later Sunday afternoon, a person saw a man slumped over a dumpster near the 1900 block of Randolph SE, Gallegos said. The man, who police said was the suspect in the shooting, had shot himself in the head and was dead, Gallegos. Police didn’t release his identify.
