Cops Shoot Three people with massive gunfire, NOT GUN VIOLENCE & NOT MASS SHOOTING ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Lapel video showed the moments Albuquerque Police Department officers opened fire on a suspect near Lomas and Louisiana last month, who was at a bus stop trying to stab random people. The suspect, 25-year-old Jeramiah Salyards was shot, but in the process, so were two other innocent bystanders. Albuquerque woman pleads guilty to 34 counts of burglary While some officers start rendering aid, another mistakenly tries to arrest one of the victims. The video showed another officer stopping it. The victim, who is not being identified, is trying to make sense of it all. Shortly before the shooting, Salyards stabbed a man who was giving him a ride and buying him food. Surveillance video shows them at the Mcdonald’s drive-thru at Lomas and San Pedro, where Salyards takes off after stabbing the man. Salyards was released from prison just a few months ago for stabbing a city bus driver at the Westside transit center in 2020. While he was convicted for that stabbing, he only spent a few years behind bars for it. “You stabbed a city bus driver and you go to jail for three years. I just want that to sink in with the community,” Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina said. Salyards later died from his injuries. ------- “The two victims hit by gunfire are okay,----------- and so is the man who was stabbed in the Mcdonald’s drive-thru. * (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) * Albuquerque, New Mexico — On June 29, 2023, around 9:23 p.m., Albuquerque police responded to a 911 call of a stabbing at a McDonald’s off of Lomas and San Pedro. Officers found a man who had been stabbed multiple times in the neck and face while in the drive-thru lane. The man told police he picked up the suspect, 25-year-old Jeramiah Salyards, and wanted to help him by buying dinner. The driver told police it’s something he’s done for others. The suspect reached over said, “Sorry“ and stabbed him in the neck. Salyards then fled the scene. Officers responded within minutes and rendered aid to the victim. He was transported to a local hospital to treat his wounds. He has since been released from the hospital. Nearly two and a half hours later, officers found the suspect was down the road on Lomas and Louisiana. Officers say he matched the description of holding a colored knife and wearing a pink-like backpack. Officers went to the area and spotted Salyards, telling him to drop the knife. Salyards crossed the street to a bus stop where three men were hanging out. Salyards moved toward the men, who appeared to be attempting to flee as multiple police officers shouted for him to put down his knife. Bodycam footage shows Salyards waving his arms rapidly toward the three men, apparently holding a knife in one hand, before officers opened fire. Police continued firing as Salyards goes toward one of the men who fell over, having apparently been struck by officers' gunfire. Police say Salyards died in the shooting. One of the bystanders hit by officers' gunfire was shot in the knee. He was treated and released that night from the hospital. The bystander in the blue jacket was shot several times and suffered serious injuries. He was treated over several weeks at the hospital and is still going through rehabilitation from those gunshot wounds. Salyards was previously sentenced to three years in prison for the stabbing of a Albuquerque bus driver in 2020 and was released just over a month before his death.
