A man, Ernesto Martinez, has been charged with an open count of murder after allegedly stabbing another man, Christopher Gallegos, during a birthday party in Southwest Albuquerque. The incident occurred around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday, with police responding to a call of a stabbing at the location. Martinez admitted to police that he stabbed someone at the party but could not recall the victim’s identity. Gallegos’ wife described the attack as unprovoked, as the two men had been friendly towards each other throughout the evening. When officers arrived at the scene, they found Gallegos with a stab wound to the chest and Martinez being held down by the victim’s family members. Martinez was arrested, and a knife was found at the scene.
Martinez is currently being treated at a local hospital before being taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center. The investigation is ongoing, and further details may be revealed as authorities continue to gather information about the incident.
