Jul. 2—ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Police say a man was shot early Friday morning near Copper and Wyoming and later died at a hospital, bringing the number of homicides in Albuquerque so far this year to 65.

Gilbert Gallegos, an Albuquerque police spokesman, said officers were dispatched at 3:30 a.m. to 421 Tennessee St. NE. When they got there they found a man with at least one gunshot wound to the chest, Gallegos said.

"The male was taken to the hospital where he later was pronounced dead," he added. "Homicide detectives are currently conducting interviews and canvassing the area."

Albuquerque has seen 65 homicides so far this year, although State Police is handling the investigation of two of those slayings, according to Journal records. The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office, meanwhile, has confirmed six homicides in its jurisdiction.

For those who did make it to Barcelona, there were no boozy parties, with far fewer such gatherings than in previous years and the only alcohol on offer reserved for hand sanitising. The must-haves at this week's MWC were a negative COVID-19 test, an FFP2 face mask and a digital contact-tracing badge for the 30,000 or so who filed through its testing stations and followed a one-way traffic system to reduce infection risk.

    Honolulu police officers' use of deadly force was justified and no charges will be filed against them in a shooting that killed a Black man because an investigation found that he entered a home uninvited and physically attacked the officers, the city's prosecuting attorney said Wednesday. The April 14 shooting death of Lindani Myeni, 29, has drawn international attention, including from civil rights activist the Rev. Al Sharpton, at a time when police violence in other parts of the U.S. have prompted protests over racial injustice. Honolulu Prosecuting Attorney Steve Alm said his office's investigation refutes those who said the shooting shows that despite Hawaii's multicultural diversity, police are racist.
