Albuquerque police say they responded to a Shot Spotter activation, technology the department is using to pinpoint gunshots, near Rhode Island and Chico.
When officers arrived, they found a woman who had been shot. She died at the scene.
Detectives are interviewing witnesses and canvassing the neighborhood. Police have not said if they have a suspect.
A neighbor said the area has seen a lot of violence. I pick up all the shell casings in front of my yard, she said. People are dropping like flies.
