ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A man was killed after a shooting with Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputies Tuesday near a Walmart in the South Valley.

A BCSO detective on scene told KOB 4 deputies got an alert after 11 a.m. about a stolen vehicle at the Walmart near Coors and Rio Bravo.

The BCSO auto theft unit was able to identify the driver prior to making contact. They also found out he was wanted for an out-of-state felony warrant. It was after they made contact with the driver that the shooting happened.

“At this time, we know that at least one deputy fired at least one shot. The deputies then immediately rendered aid and called medical personnel to the scene. Medical personnel arrived and they announced the driver of the vehicle deceased on scene,” said BCSO Detective Kevin Carhart.

People are asked to avoid the area as an investigation was ongoing.

All BCSO deputies are reportedly OK.
