   Detectives from the Albuquerque Police Department responded to a fatal   
   shooting that occurred at 1:35 AM. A male victim was shot and died at the   
   scene.   
      
   While we were on the scene, we saw what looked like a possible body or a pile   
   of clothes in the corner, surrounded by evidence markers.   
      
   The latest homicide this morning happened within the area designated as a   
   school zone which is supposed to enhance the charge for offenders who commit   
   crimes in this zone. It has never been enforced.   
      
   A school zone sign can be seen posted a few feet from where one of the early   
   morning homicides occured   
   6th St. and Copper Ave NW   
      
   Officers were initially alerted at 2:05 AM to a stabbing in an alleyway in the   
   area of 6th St. and Copper Ave. N.W. A victim was taken from the scene in a   
   van. Officers later learned that a male victim showed up with stab wounds at   
   an urgent care center    
   on Albuquerque’s West Side. The victim was determined to be deceased at the   
   urgent care. Detectives from APD are investigating and gathering evidence at   
   this location.   
      
   Update for 6th and Copper Homicide:   
   Two brothers, Ozal and Tyvon Leno, were involved in a fatal altercation early   
   morning in Downtown Albuquerque. The dispute, which occurred while the   
   brothers were in a vehicle with their mother and others, escalated into   
   violence. Tyvon Leno is accused    
   of stabbing his brother, Ozal, resulting in his death. Tyvon Leno was   
   subsequently arrested and charged with murder and tampering with evidence.

   female victim was grazed by a bullet and taken to a local hospital. She is in   
   stable condition. APD    
   Detectives are processing this scene for their investigation.   
      
   When we arrived to this scene, there were no signs of police activity. We did   
   observe discarded latex type gloves at this location, possibly from emergency   
   responders providing aid to the victims.

   Recent Surge in Violence and Deaths in ABQ   
   Since Saturday, August 17, 2024, there have been nine homicides in the   
   Albuquerque Metro Area. As we’ve explained to our readers before, the Office   
   of the Medical Investigator classifies a death as a homicide when someone dies   
   violently due to another    
   person’s intentional actions, regardless of whether the responsible   
   individual is prosecuted. The OMI classifications/manners of death include:   
   natural, homicide, suicide, accidental, undetermined, and pending. Cases   
   labeled “pending” for cause/   
   manner of death will eventually be reclassified once laboratory results,   
   diagnostic tests, family interviews, and evidence are thoroughly analyzed and   
   the official manner of death is determined.   
      
   Yesterday, Saturday, August 24th, a man was killed in Southeast Albuquerque.   
   The incident began when a man reportedly wanted to purchase an off-road   
   vehicle and met a woman in the area to make a deal. The man went for a test   
   drive on the off-road vehicle    
   but never returned. The woman, believing her vehicle had been stolen, went   
   searching for it in the area. When she found her vehicle, she and the man got   
   into an altercation, and the potential buyer was shot by the potential seller.   
   Investigators later    
   learned that the ATV had apparently broken down in the middle of the road on   
   Florida Street SE, which is why the man never returned. Police are   
   investigating further, and we will provide updates when charges are filed.   
      
   On August 20, 2024, a security guard shot a man at the Circle K at 141 98th   
   St. SW. APD announced later that “after consulting with the District   
   Attorney’s Office, this case is being reviewed as a possible self-defense   
   shooting.”   
      
   APD was called out to the 500 block of Hermosa Dr. NE, on August 22nd,   
   regarding a man who had been shot in the head. Reportedly the man was taken to   
   the hospital in grave condition. An updated status on his condition has not   
   been released since the    
   shooting.
