Homicide update. No. 71

Another week has gone by in Albuquerque, and we can add four more victims to the ever-growing number of homicides in Albuquerque.

This week we had homicides reported at Vassar and McEarl, 129 Pennsylvania Ne, Motel 6 and Osuna and San Mateo.

The number of homicides in Albuquerque now stands at 71.

These numbers include all homicides as reported by the Albuquerque Journal Homicide map, two homicides that the NMSP are investigating (but occurred in the city limits), all justified homicides and the two children killed by their mothers in a drunk driving accident.

If Albuquerque keeps up this pace we will eclipse the past record by almost 60 homicides.
