Albuquerque Police Department reports 38% clearance rate for homicides

The Albuquerque Police Department has had to investigate 82 homicides so far this year, a record for the city. But how many of those cases have they solved?

As of Tuesday, APD reported a 38% clearance rate for homicides. That's down 5% compared to the 43% clearance rate reported earlier this month.

APD Chief Harold Medina has told KOB 4 the department is working to beef up staffing in the homicide unit, but it's hard to keep up when they are short staffed.

An APD spokesperson says they are looking into the 38% clearance rate to make sure it's the most current.
