Albuquerque Police Department links 2 men to 2018 murder

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque police have arrested two men for a murder that happened more than six years ago.

In March of 2018, officers were called to an area near Coors north of I-40 after witnesses said they heard two gunshots and a car with Mexico license plates leave the area.

Police believe Kevin Geier and Toure Britt shot a man after they had gone along as backup with another friend who wanted to confront a man for dating his girlfriend. However, police alleged the two planned to rob and kill the man instead.

Rio Rancho police found the car a few days later after it was reported to be on fire.

Britt was arrested in Albuquerque, but Geier has been in Arizona custody since December 2018 on gun and drug charges. Both men are facing first-degree murder charges.
