In numbers released by Albuquerque police on Jan. 1, the department reported 120 homicide victims in 2022. It’s another all-time high in homicides for Albuquerque Police. That follows a national trend. Looking at the numbers month by month, we see they peaked around May with 17 homicides but slowed down during the year’s final three months. The department tells us that 68 of last year’s 120 homicides were solved. They also solved 22 cases from past years. That’s a total of 90 cases solved by APD detectives and 117 suspects who were arrested, charged, or died. It is worth noting that in 2021 the department originally reported 117 homicides. That number was eventually reduced to 110 as investigations reclassified them.
