ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Albuquerque police are investigating after a man was found dead in a vehicle off a busy interstate.
Authorities shut down southbound Interstate 25 near the Montano on-ramp for hours Sunday after reports of an armed suspect and a victim lying on the ground.
Police spokesman Simon Drobik says officers responded after 6:30 p.m. and found a sedan on the side of the road and a man fatally injured.
According to Drobik, officers found two other men in the car and determined the victim had been riding with them.
The two men were taken into custody but are being treated as witnesses.
Drobik says there are no signs that this was an incident of road rage.
Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
