Police investigated two homicides over an eight-hour period on Tuesday across Albuquerque. In separate incidents, police found a man dead in some bushes outside a hotel and, across town, found a man dead after responding to gunfire. Daren DeAguero, an Albuquerque police spokesman, said officers responded around 10 p.m. to reports of gunfire in the 400 block of Rhode Island NE, near Central and Pennsylvania. "Officers arrived to discover a lifeless male appearing to have been taken by death," he said. "Homicide detectives will be conducting the investigation." Hours earlier, DeAguero said, officers responded around 4:15 p.m. to reports of a man lying in the bushes outside the Marriott Pyramid near Paseo del Norte and Jefferson. "Officers arrived to discover the lifeless individual," he said. "Homicide detectives are currently conducting the investigation." DeAguero did not give any other details on either case.
