APD investigates separate shooting and stabbing in Albuquerque
APD was investigating a Sunday night shooting and a Monday afternoon stabbing as separate homicides, with no arrests announced in either case.
Albuquerque police were investigating two fatal incidents over the weekend, a shooting Sunday night and a stabbing Monday afternoon, after both cases were handled as homicide investigations and no arrests had been announced. The back-to-back cases fit a pattern Bernalillo County readers have seen before, where violence surfaces in short bursts and the key public question becomes how quickly investigators identify suspects and whether the cases cluster in the same parts of the city.
The City of Albuquerque keeps public APD pages for active homicide investigations and for 2024 homicide investigations, along with a homicide statistics page that tracks annual citywide data. One of those public case pages is for Mariano Salazar, dated June 30, 2024, showing how the department documents individual investigations while keeping a broader record of homicide activity visible to the public.
Recent Albuquerque cases show why that documentation matters. KRQE reported a July 12, 2022 APD investigation into two Monday night shooting deaths, a reminder that some of the city’s deadliest cases have unfolded on the same nights and in the same weekend-heavy window now seen again. In another case, APD responded to a shooting at 1:35 a.m. on a Sunday in northeast Albuquerque and later arrested 56-year-old Keith Thompson at 525 San Pedro Dr. NE. A separate APD investigation into a deadly stabbing near Lomas and Eubank also surfaced on a Monday, reinforcing how often these cases arrive in clusters rather than as isolated events.
For readers trying to judge whether police response is keeping up, the details that matter most are the ones APD can eventually put in the public record: whether an arrest follows, where the violence happened, and whether the location matches other active cases or repeat trouble spots. The city’s homicide pages and annual statistics are the clearest place to compare one case with the next and see whether the department is closing investigations or simply adding to the list.
With no arrests announced yet in either the Sunday shooting or the Monday stabbing, those public records will be the first measure of progress and the clearest way to see whether Albuquerque is facing the same violence patterns again.
