Over the past three months, Albuquerque police have responded to two homicides and the discovery of a body found off Tramway and Interstate 40, the gateway to the old Route 66 and Four Hills neighborhood.
Two blocks west of Tramway, a far East Central trailer park was the scene of a recent FBI search of a purported gang leader’s “stash house” where agents seized seven firearms, including two shotguns and an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle.
From Tramway to Eubank, the two-mile stretch of far East Central Avenue is peppered with closed businesses, sometimes aggressive transients, open displays of illegal drug use, mental illness, vandalism and trash, area residents say.

According to the Bernalillo County Sheriff s Office, two drivers were going too fast on Coors Boulevard and crashed into Reverend Graham Golden s car as it was pulling out from the Santa Maria de la Vid Abbey.
Golden died on the way to the hospital. Brother Edgar Romero, who was also in the car, is expected to be OK.
This latest tragedy highlights what law enforcement said is an uptick in street racing reports.
Typically, when it comes to street racing penalties, drivers are met with misdemeanors, citations, and court dates.
A spokesperson for the Bernalillo County District Attorney s office said prosecutors don t usually get involved unless it s a situation where someone died. Nonetheless, various agencies have their own efforts centered on at least citing the people caught racing.
