ABQ man, accused of shooting another man, being held in custody

BERNALILLO COUNTY, N.M. (KRQE) — An Albuquerque man will be held in custody after deputies said he shot a man.

According to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, in August, Samuel Perez shot at a home near Atrisco and Mares after demanding his motorcycle back, injuring two men.

Then, in September, deputies returned to the same home after another shooting with a man found dead.

Perez, who was arrested in a stolen car the same day, was implicated in the shooting after a friend told deputies Perez told him about the shooting.

The judge granted the State’s motion to keep Perez in custody. He is facing an aggravated battery charge, but BCSO said the homicide case is still being investigated.
