Albuquerque Police Look For Shooter Who Killed Motorcyclist

Authorities still are searching for a driver who allegedly chased down a motorcyclist and shot him dead on an Albuquerque street.

Albuquerque police on Monday identified the victim as 29-year-old Vincent Francis Mcaneney and say they are investigating the case as a homicide.

A witness called 911 around 6 a.m. Saturday and reported a person driving a truck at a high rate of speed on Central Avenue.

The caller told police that truck driver was holding a gun out of the window and shooting at a motorcyclist.

The witness says the motorcyclist stopped and fell over. One of the occupants of the truck then got out and grabbed the motorcycle before fleeing.

Authorities say Mcaneney was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead from apparent gunshot wounds.
