Albuquerque native injured in machete attack in downtown Los Angeles
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – An Albuquerque native was one of the victims of a violent machete attack in downtown Los Angeles that left another man dead. Although the 35-year-old chef survived this attack, he has a long road to recovery ahead.

But the walk home quickly turned violent. As Levitt went to grab his keys to unlock the doorhe heard footsteps running towards him, 'As soon as I went to look up to see the reflection in our lobby door, that's when I had noticed the reflection of a man, and that the running noise had come from him…then that's when the attack started.' recalled Kyle Levitt. Levitt later learned, he was the second person to be attacked that night. A few blocks away, police say the same suspect attacked a 60-year-old man with the same machete and killed him. The attacker hit Levitt from behind, slashing his neck, ear, head, and body. Levitt called for the man to stop and turned around, the man then knocking him to the ground slashing his wrist with the machete then running away, 'That's when I noticed half of my hand had been cut through. So I, both of my tendons leading to my thumb were severed, my Artery was severed in my wrist, the cut went down to the joint of my wrist,' emphasized Levitt. The attack left Levitt with a skull fracture and staples on his head and neck. But worst of all, it left him without the full functionality of both of his hands. As a chef, he's left unable to work, saying it could take months to regain mobility. Levitt was born in raised in New Mexico, but has lived in LA for the last 11 years. He hopes to be back in the kitchen soon, where he hopes to achieve his goal of bringing New Mexican cuisine to Los Angeles. A Go Fund Me page has been set up to help him pay for medical bills and unforeseen expenses as he recovers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Librarian at The University of New Mexico works to install telehealth booths in libraries
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) — A University of New Mexico librarian is working to expand health care in rural parts of New Mexico. One way she's doing so is by installing telehealth booths in public libraries. Story continues below Community:ABQ bus driver speaks out on her experience of safety issues on Central route News:Homeland Security: 11 people arrested at New Mexico dairy were 'undocumented' Trending:Mexican gray wolf Asha gives birth to litter of pups Food: Two Albuquerque restaurants make Yelp's 'Top 50 Cheap Eats' list Deirdre Caparoso is the outreach and community engagement librarian in UNM's Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center. She's been working with New Mexico State Library to coordinate purchasing, installation, and staff training for four telehealth booths, according to the University of New Mexico. The booths are basically small, standalone rooms that are private and soundproof. They all have a computer connected to the library's internet, and they're free for library patron usage. Booths are big enough to fit two or three people and they have a ramp for wheelchair accessibility. To use a booth, visitors should contact their libraries directly as policies may vary. 'There are a lot of digital inequities in this state,' she said. 'We still have a lot of communities that don't have access to any sort of high-speed Internet on a regular basis. But we do have a lot of public libraries—and public libraries have high-speed Internet.' The booths can also be used for increased privacy during telehealth sessions, such as for people meeting with mental health counselors or substance abuse counselors. The booths are currently open at Octavia Fellin Public Library in Gallup, Aztec Public Library in Aztec and Mescalero Community Library on the Mescalero Apache Reservation. A fourth one for Fort Sumner Public Library is planned. They hope to bring about 10 more booths in later fall and early 2026. You can read UNM's full news release here.
