ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Homicide detectives are investigating after police say a man was killed in a “possible family dispute” in Northeast Albuquerque Thursday.

Daren DeAguero, a spokesman for the Albuquerque Police Department, said officers were called to the 4800 block of Palo Duro NE, near Comanche and San Mateo NE for a possible family dispute.

“One male individual was taken to the hospital and was later pronounced deceased,” DeAguero wrote in an email.

He did not say how the man was killed or say if anyone is in custody. No one has been publicly identified.
