ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Police have identified a man found fatally shot at a northeast Albuquerque motel last week.

They say the victim was 21-year-old Leroy Garcia.

Police say the man’s body was discovered last Tuesday at the Motel 76.



A suspect in the homicide has yet been identified by police, who say their investigation is continuing.

Police say Garcia had a criminal history that included a recent arrest for receiving or transferring a stolen vehicle, felony possession of a controlled substance and possession of burglary tools.

They say an arrest warrant for Garcia was filed for failing to show up for a court hearing last month.
