ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Albuquerque Police Department (APD) reported three deadly incidents early Sunday morning.
1:35 a.m. at 2nd Street and Gold Ave SW
APD said one man was found dead at the scene of a fatal shooting. They stated the victim was homeless and shot at close range with unknown motivation.
2:05 a.m. at 6th Street and Copper Avenue SW
A stabbing was reported in an alley in the area. APD stated two brothers, and others, were visiting bars and nightclubs. They got into a mini-van, and the brothers reportedly started to argue before things became physical.
Witnesses said Ozal Leno, 28, of Acoma Pueblo, punched Tyvon Leno, 26, of Acoma Pueblo, and Tyvon hit him on the neck. Ozal was bleeding, so the group tried to take him to urgent care for help. Tyvon allegedly fled before the group left for urgent care.
APD said officers were flagged down by Tyvon, who claimed his brother was stabbed but said someone else did it. Authorities said he later admitted to stabbing him.
