ALBUQUERQUE, NM — A 14-year-old boy was fatally shot Friday night after a group of teenagers allegedly attempted to force their way into an occupied apartment at the Sandia Vista Apartments in the Foothills area, according to the Albuquerque Police Department.

The incident occurred around 10:15 p.m. at the complex located at 901 Tramway Blvd. NE. Authorities say a fight broke out among a group of teens outside the apartments and escalated to the point where several individuals chased others up to an apartment on the second floor.

During the confrontation, one of the teens reportedly threw a rock through a window of the apartment. The resident inside, who told police he was with his children at the time, responded by retrieving a firearm and firing a shot after allegedly warning the group that he was armed. One 14-year-old was struck and died at the scene.

The resident was detained and questioned by police but was later released as the investigation continues. At this time, the shooting is being investigated as a possible justifiable homicide. APD detectives are also reviewing the events leading up to the shooting, including the physical altercation outside the building.

No arrests have been made, and the identities of those involved have not been released.

This incident highlights the legal complexities surrounding the use of deadly force in self-defense, especially in situations involving threats to personal safety within one’s home. While the investigation is ongoing, it serves as a reminder of the importance of clearly understanding self-defense laws in your jurisdiction. If a threat appears imminent and access to retreat is limited—especially when minors are present—responding with

force may be justified under New Mexico’s laws. However, each case is subject to scrutiny, emphasizing the need for restraint and situational awareness.
