One of the speakers at the President’s Operation Legend presentation today was an elderly white gentlemen from Albuquerque, whose wife was murdered while sitting in her car inside her garage. She was on her way to the gym. He heard the horn on the car and thought she wanted him to come out. When he got to the garage, there was a car blocking her car in the driveway, and he saw a man run from the passenger’s side of her car, to the parked car. He got in and the car drove away. That was last fall. Her case is still unsolved. He said that Albuquerque’s crime rate is, and has been for a long time, very high. The percentage for solving homicide crimes in Albuquerque is 50%.
That’s stellar compared to Chicongo at 10%.
