    About 38% of the homicides investigated in 2022 by the Albuquerque Police Department took place at an address ending in NE. The most recent victim was found shot to death Thursday, Dec. 29, at a home near the intersection of Constitution and Morris.

    That death brought the total number of 2022 homicides investigated by APD to 120. According to a map created by the Albuquerque Journal used to track the year’s homicides in the metro area, 120 homicides were being investigated by APD, 19 by the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office and one by New Mexico State Police, for a total of 140 homicides.

    Of those 140 homicides, 79 have been solved, or about 56%. A quick look at the map indicates most of the homicides took place south of Interstate 40 along the Central Avenue corridor. Of the 21 homicides that took place north of I-40 and east of Interstate 25, five are still unsolved.

    A look at deadly crimes in northeast Albuquerque

    Some of the year’s deadliest crimes were reported on by the Neighborhood Journal. Here’s a look back at a few of the headlines for those stories:

    • Suspect arrested on murder charges, published July 21, 2022. This case was investigated and solved by BCSO. The suspect, Marty Platero, 29, was accused of stabbing Ryan Spencer, 25, to death on Forest Road 333 near the La Luz trailhead around 3 a.m. July 20.

    Albuquerque police release names of murder suspects and statistics on metro homicide cases

    A Dec. 28 email by APD Director of Communications Gilbert Gallegos provided a list of suspects that were charged, arrested, deceased or still wanted over the last year. The list dates back to Jan. 15, 2017, with a homicide that took place at 1701 University NE. Of the 117 suspects listed, nine are deceased, 10 are juveniles and 11 still wanted by police. The 11 suspects listed as wanted include:

    1. Vicente Pablo Reyes, 48, for a homicide that took place May 9, 2022, at 3125 Ortiz Drive NE.
    2. Dakota Cox, 28, for a June 15, 2022, homicide at 5505 Central Ave. NE.

    11. Davion Jaramillo for the Jan. 26, 2020 homicide at 8200 Bridge Ave. SW.

    In addition to the list of homicide suspects, APD also released a PowerPoint presentation providing statistics on homicides over the previous years. Of note is the number of homicide cases APD solved in 2022.

    According to APD’s presentation, 68 of the cases from 2022 were solved and one negligent murder case for the year was solved. Twenty-two homicide cases from previous years were solved and 15 justifiable homicide cases were solved from 2022 and previous years. The presentation says APD has a 94% clearance rate in 2022 for non-negligent murder, justifiable homicide and negligent manslaughter.

    Of the 117 homicide suspects APD arrested, charged or were listed as deceased in 2022, 75 have a known criminal record, 41 were between the age of 18- 25, 49% Hispanic and 84% are male. Some of the slides from the APD Homicide Solved Cases and Arrests 2022 presentation can be seen below:
