Officers were nearby and able to respond quickly when two men began shooting at each other in Downtown Albuquerque on Saturday evening. The first suspect was captured and arrested shortly after the shooting, while the second suspect, a minor, turned himself in the next day.
The APD Police Chief Harold Medina posted the body camera footage on X (the app formerly known as Twitter) of the officers responding to the shooting and apprehending the first suspect.
Great job by Downtown officers to react so quickly and take a suspect into custody after this shooting on Saturday. The second suspect, a juvenile, turned himself in on Sunday. pic.twitter.com/wtt01xv6Yb
