ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque police have arrested a man accused of nearly killing a man over beer pong. Police say 20-year-old Matthew Duran and the victim were playing the drinking game inside a room at the Hotel Cascada near Carlisle and I-40 Sunday.

Duran is accused of hitting the man in the neck with a bottle which cut an artery. Police say the victim lost two liters of blood and was rushed to UNM Hospital. He remains in critical condition.

Duran was charged with attempted murder and drug trafficking after police found heroin, weed and 180 oxycodone tablets.

A judge set his bond at $50,000 Monday.

This isn’t the first time violence broke out over beer pong. In January, 18-year old Arturo Villa was shot to death at a party in the South Valley. Police arrested and charged Esias Madrid and Jack Trujillo for that killing.

That same week, another man was killed over beer pong in a neighborhood near Central and Coors. Investigators say Nathan Ware and Luis Delgado opened fire killing a man.
