ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Two men were fighting for their lives early Saturday morning following separate shootings that occurred minutes apart on Menaul.
Albuquerque police don’t believe the shootings are connected, although they are continuing to investigate.
Sgt. Tanner Tixier, an Albuquerque Police Department spokesman, said the first shooting occurred at the Quality Inn at 1315 Menaul NE.
Police were originally dispatched to a crash at about 2:27 a.m. “but later learned that one of the occupants had been shot,” he said. Tixier added that the man was transported to the hospital and was in critical condition.
“Due to the severity of his injuries and the prognosis from doctors, this incident has been made a homicide call out,” he said.

And nearly 38 percent of adults are fully vaccinated, a higher rate than in any other state.Credit.Cate Dingley/Bloomberg
