Police investigate 2 shootings in 2 days

APD also identifies three people killed in recent weeks

Homicide detectives are investigating a fatal shooting that happened Friday afternoon off East Central.

Gilbert Gallegos, an Albuquerque police spokesman, said officers responded just before 2 p.m. to a shooting at Central and Tramway NE and found a person dead in the area. No other information was immediately released by police.

Meanwhile, police say a person wounded in a road rage shooting Thursday afternoon is not expected to survive, and the case is being investigated as a possible justifiable shooting.

Officers responded around 3:15 p.m. Thursday to the South Pointe Mobile Home Park in the 11000 block of Gibson SE, where they learned the shooting followed a road rage incident, Gallegos said.

He said the man shot was taken to a hospital and “is not expected to survive his wound.”

“Homicide detectives are investigating claims that the shooting was in self-defense,” he said.

On Friday, police also identified three people killed in separate incidents around Albuquerque this month.

Gallegos said the deaths of Johnathan DeZamora, 24, Dejuan Jackson, 37, and Angela Garcia, 48, are being investigated as homicides.

He said police responded on July 12 to a shooting in the 200 block of Maxine NE, near Central and Juan Tabo. Gallegos said officers found DeZamora fatally shot.

Two days later, officers responded to a shooting at the Allsup’s convenience store on Zuni SE and found Jackson fatally shot.

Then, on July 18, police responded to a shooting in a neighborhood northeast of Juan Tabo and Interstate 40. Officers found Garcia fatally shot and another person injured.
