Albuquerque Police Shooting Details

Albuquerque police released body cam footage of the fatal shooting of 23-year-old Jose Armas, who allegedly opened fire on officers after re-emerging from his apartment armed — a claim disputed by his brother, who says officers could have de-escalated by letting him retreat. The video shows gunfire, shattered glass, and officers taking cover as Armas reportedly blew out a patrol car’s windshield. Two officers were injured by shrapnel but are recovering. APD Chief Cecily Barker announced a multi-agency investigation into the incident, which comes just days after another police shooting in the city — the second deadly encounter in three days.
