ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Detectives are investigating the death of a man who was detained by neighbors following an alleged break in attempt on the West Side.
Police spokesman Gilbert Gallegos said James Carmody, 24, died at a hospital following an altercation on July 5 in Northwest Albuquerque.
He said the case is being treated as a homicide until an autopsy determines the cause and manner of death.
That marks the 69th homicide being investigated by Albuquerque police, with an arrest made or charges filed in 19 of the cases.
Gallegos said five of the current cases “may change status as additional evidence is reviewed.”
