2017 HAS NOT BEEN A GOOD YEAR FOR MURDERS IN ALBUQUERQUE. THE OFFICIAL COUNT IS NOW AT 75 HOMICIDES FOR THE YEAR. AND ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE VICTIMS HAS BEEN HOMELESS. APD’S SIMON DROBIK SAYS THAT’S ONE REASON FOR THE DEPARTMENT’S RELATIVELY LOW 59 PERCENT CLEARANCE RATE.
DROBIK SAYS, MORE AND MORE, PEOPLE ARE USING WEAPONS TO SETTLE ARGUMENTS…AND THAT’S ONE REASON FOR ALBUQUERQUE’S HIGH MURDER TOTAL THIS YEAR.
