FEDERAL OFFICIALS HAVE TAKEN OVER THE INVESTIGATION OF YESTERDAY’S(MON) SHOOTING DEATH OF A PERSON ON ALBUQUERQUE’S WEST SIDE. THE POSTAL SERVICE HAS CONFIRMED TO NEWSRADIO KKOB THAT THE VICTIM WAS A MAIL CARRIER. NO I-D HAS BEEN RELEASED. NOW POLICE THINK THEY KNOW WHO SHOT THE POSTAL CARRIER. THEY SAY 17 YEAR OLD XAVIER ZAMORA WAS IN A FIGHT WITH HIS MOM WHEN THE WORKER TRIED TO STOP HIM. AT ONE POINT HE USED HIS MACE TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST THE TEEN WHO THEN RETRIEVED A GUN FROM THE HOME AND SHOT THE MAIL CARRIER DEAD. THE SHOOTING LED TO A LONG POLICE PRESENCE IN THE AREA OF 98TH AND TOWER THOUGH THERE IS NO CONFIRMATION THAT AN ARREST HAS BEEN MADE.
