Woman killed in officer-involved shooting with Albuquerque police
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A woman was shot and killed Tuesday morning in an officer-involved shooting with the Albuquerque Police Department. Tuesday evening, APD identified the woman as Desiree Herrera. APD said the shooting happened at the Hotel Parq Central. APD Police Chief Harold Medina said around 4:30 a.m., a call came in from the hotel about a woman in a mental health crisis that they would like to be removed and trespassed from the hotel. Medina said the call was a priority two call, and placed in a cue while several other calls were holding. Chief Medina said around 5:15 a.m., the call was updated that Herrera had broken some items and armed herself with a piece of glass. Officers were sent to the hotel, and as they were en route, a security supervisor showed up at the hotel. Medina said Herrera was able to disarm the security guard and take the guard's gun. When officers arrived on scene, they observed that shots had already been fired into an SUV in the parking lot, and Herrera was waving the firearm and discharged it. Medina said officers gave Herrera commands to drop the firearm. At one point, a round was fired in the direction of officers and struck an SUV in front of them. Officers returned fire, and Herrera was killed on scene. No officers were injured. The Multi-Agency Task Force is investigating the shooting. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Two people killed in Middletown shooting involving police officers identified
Jul. 14—The two people who died Sunday following a Middletown officer-involved shooting on Mohawk Street have been identified, according to the Butler County Coroner's Office. Ronald Hazen Kerr, 60, and Consuelo D. Kerr, 53, died from gun shot wounds, according to the coroner's office. Around 4:42 p.m. Sunday, Middletown police responded to a residence in the 3000 block of Mohawk Street following reports of a woman suffering from a gunshot wound allegedly inflicted by her husband, according to a press release from the city. Upon arrival, the city said officers announced their presence and identified themselves as police officers. While negotiating with the male suspect, the suspect allegedly discharged his weapon at the officers. In response, the city release said officers returned fire, striking the suspect. Upon entering the residence, officers found both the man and woman dead. Parallel investigations are underway regarding their deaths, according to Butler County Prosecutor Mike Gmoser. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigations will conduct an independent investigation into the officer-involved shooting, and Gmoser will present evidence to a Butler County grand jury. Middletown police are investigating the homicide that led to the call, which resulted in the death of the homicide suspect and his alleged victim. "The fellow who was shot obviously did not heed the warning that I gave in my last press release," Gmoser told Journal-News. "You point a gun at a police officer, you're going to be dead." In late May, there was an officer-involved shooting in Middletown, which resulted in the death of Michael Anthony Baker, 47, of Middletown. Police were cleared of wrongdoing in this case by a Butler County grand jury. "This case should serve as fair warning to all offenders involved in criminal activities that pointing a firearm at a police officer in the performance of his duties will be met with lethal and justified use of force to eliminate the threat," Gmoser said of the ruling. Though this is the second Middletown officer-involved shooting in about two months, Gmoser said the incidents are "random." "There is no systemic problem in Middletown with respect to officer-involved shooting cases," he said. Gmoser praised Middletown Police Chief Earl Nelson for calling in BCI to handle the officer-involved part of the investigation. "Chief Nelson acted very, very swiftly. He heeds that advice, always," Gmoser said. Investigators were on the scene after 9 p.m., collecting evidence from the Mohawk Street home.

Lindsey Houghton of the SPS in an email to CTV News Tuesday morning. Houghton could not provide details about the nature or time of the initial call the RCMP were responding to. Dozens of police, fire, and ambulance vehicles were deployed to the scene. The street and the laneway behind it were quickly put behind police tape as officers investigated.
