APD Justifies Paseo Road Rage Incident: The Explanation

The Albuquerque Police Department is investigating a road rage incident on Paseo and Eagle Ranch Road as a "justifiable homicide" after a driver ran over a man who allegedly pulled out a gun. Retired police commander Paul Szych explained that the determination of justifiability depends on whether the driver faced an imminent threat and if their actions were reasonable to counter that threat. Factors such as witness testimony and the alleged killer's account are also considered. Szych advised against participating in road rage incidents and emphasized the importance of deescalation. No arrests have been made in the case.
