Albuquerque police ID 2 victims in a triple homicide case

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Authorities in New Mexico have released the names of two men who died in a triple homicide case.

Albuquerque police say 44-year-old Brandon Torres and 41-year-old James Fisher were identified as two of the victims found Wednesday in a bullet-riddled car outside a city hospital. The name of the third man is being withheld until his relatives can be notified.

An Albuquerque police SWAT team arrested a suspect on a federal warrant who allegedly was involved in the shooting. Police said 41-year-old Richard Kuykendall was questioned and then booked into jail on a federal charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm. However, Kuykendall has not yet been charged in the triple homicide case.
