ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Albuquerque police are trying to identify a machete-wielding man who punched a supermarket employee in an incident that led to a serious collision involving a family and an officer hurrying to the store last Monday evening.
Police described the suspect as African American, about 18 years old, 5-foot-6 with a medium build and said he was wearing a red shirt, jeans and carrying a gray and black backpack.
Police said the suspect charged and punched an Albertsons employee after yelling at the employee and a security guard.
The responding officer’s vehicle collided with the family’s SUV at an intersection, injuring the officer, the mother and her two children.
Authorities on Friday confirmed that woman’s 6-year-old son died after his family decided Thursday night to remove him from life support.
