OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On July 15, 2025, Albuquerque Police Department officers responded to a domestic disturbance call at a residence near Calle Nortena Road NW and Taylor Ranch Road NW in northwest Albuquerque. Upon arrival, officers encountered a male individual who had reportedly threatened suicide and barricaded himself inside the home.
The subject escalated the situation by firing multiple rounds from a second-floor window, prompting officers to return fire in defense. After a prolonged standoff and exchange of gunfire, officers cleared the residence and found the man deceased in the garage area of the home.
Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine whether the fatal wounds were caused by police gunfire or were self-inflicted. Ballistic and forensic analyses, including autopsy reports and bullet trajectory examinations, are pending to clarify the exact cause of death.
Witnesses in the neighborhood reported hearing several gunshots and police commands during the incident. Police maintained a perimeter for hours before securing the scene.
The Albuquerque Police Department has confirmed that all involved officers were equipped with body cameras, and the footage is being reviewed as part of the investigation. Community members have expressed concern over the incident, particularly regarding the use of lethal force in mental health crises.
The Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office will review the investigation findings once completed to determine any further actions.
