ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An attempt to arrest a man on an outstanding warrant turned into a foot chase through an Albuquerque apartment complex and ended with a suspect dead. New police video is showing more of what happened last month that led to police shooting and killing that suspect.
New Mexico State Police said they showed up at an apartment complex near Tramway and Academy to arrest Francisco Hernandez for a run-in with Sandia Police a couple of days earlier. State Police said Hernandez tried to drive off, hit a tree, and ran.
