Albuquerque Muslim Murder Details

Three Muslim Men Killed In Three Days In  Albuquerque. “Three Muslim men have been killed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in a span of just 10 days, stoking fear in one of America’s smallest Muslim communities as police have warned the deaths may be linked. The killings also followed the November 2021 killing of Mohammad Ahmadi, another Muslim man, which local advocates and law enforcement officials believe could also be linked to the more recent attacks. Law enforcement officials have said there is a “strong possibility” the victims were targeted because of their race and religion.” [Guardian]

Biden Condemns Murders. “Joe Biden has condemned the potentially related killings of four Muslim men in New Mexico’s largest city, saying “these hateful attacks have no place in America”. “I am angered and saddened,” the president also said in a tweet Sunday. “While we await a full investigation, my prayers are with the victims’ families, and my administration stands strongly with the Muslim community.”” [Guardian]

Police: Silver Car Is “Vehicle Of Interest.” “Albuquerque police said they released photos of the vehicle used in the four murders in the hope that people could help identify the car. Police said the vehicle sought is a dark gray or silver four-door Volkswagen with darkened windows, and appears to be a Jetta. Police did not say where the photos were taken or what led them to suspect the car was involved in any crime. “We have a very, very strong relationship,” Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said on Sunday. “We have a vehicle of interest … we have to find this vehicle.”” [Nation World]

Muhammad Afzaal Hussain Killing Could Be Connected To Other Murders. “Police believe the death of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain on August 1 could be linked to the killings of three other Muslim men. The most recent killing, which Albuquerque police were alerted to Friday night, came a day after authorities determined there was a connection between the killings of Hussain and 41-year-old Aftab Hussein, who, like Hussain was from Pakistan. Detectives are working to determine whether the November killing of Mohammad Ahmadi, a Muslim man from Afghanistan killed outside a business he ran with his brother, was also related. At the time he was killed, Hussain worked on the planning team for the city of Española, New Mexico, according to a news release from the mayor, who said he was “deeply saddened” to learn of the man’s death.” [WPBF]
