A report that looked at trends for rape, robbery, and aggravated assault put Albuquerque 17th out of 70 of the country’s largest cities. One of the most interesting things about the report is that the number of murders has been going up. A study from the Major Cities Chiefs Association that Target 7 got shows that the number of murders in Albuquerque has been going up.
This is something that Mayor Keller has talked about since September 2022. “There are two things that are going against us. One is that crime is getting worse across the country, so we have to do what we can in our city. But Keller said, “When there’s a flood of crime across America, it will affect us.”
A study from the Major Cities Chiefs Association said that Albuquerque had one of the highest murder rates in the country. The study says that 106 people were killed in 2021. There were 115 in 2022, which is 8% more than in 2021. When Albuquerque police talked to KOAT about cleared ra at the end of the year, they brought this up.
“They really pumped it up. Gilbert Gallegos, APD PIO, said, “It’s getting harder to solve these cases.” The report says that Albuquerque is one of 27 cities across the country that saw a rise. APD says that 97 people were charged or arrested in 2022 for murder.
