After more than nine hours of protests, APD released tear gas on a crowd on Central Avenue at 9:30 p.m. Several people were also arrested near Central and Girard, after protesters and APD officers had lined the streets. A little more than an hour later, more tear gas was released on protesters near 4th Street and Marquette.
After more than eight hours of walking through downtown Albuquerque, protesters started vandalizing property, with one person seemingly attempting to take down the street sign at Central and Yale, and other protesters spray painting property. This followed a long day that involved a standoff with officers in riot gear near APD headquarters.
Officer Tasia Martinez of APD confirmed late Sunday night that protesters left damage and graffiti all along Central Avenue that will have to be cleaned up at least all day Monday.
The protest began with hundreds of people upset over the recent fatal police shooting of a homeless man in the foothills. This is the second protest that's taken place in Albuquerque in less than a week, but this one was much more chaotic than Tuesday's.
Protesters angry over the recent shooting, and other APD shootings in recent years, gathered at Central and First Street around noon Sunday and marched toward APD headquarters shouting, "We want justice," and other chants.
