Detectives are investigating after a man was shot and killed Tuesday night in Southeast Albuquerque. Officers were initially called around 8 p.m. to a possible suicide at a home in the 800 block of San Pedro SE, near Southern. Gilbert Gallegos, an Albuquerque police spokesman, said the 911 called had found 22-year-old Aaron Nead shot in the head. He said police found Nead had been shot "several other times" and homicide detectives were called to investigate. Earlier Tuesday, police had identified another recent homicide victim. Gallegos said 37-year-old Jorge Chacon was the man killed early Sunday morning in Northeast Albuquerque. In that incident, police responded around 3:30 a.m. to reports of a man being shot at the Osuna Apartments at 5920 Osuna Road NE. Officers found Chacon fatally shot in the parking lot.
