Update: Albuquerque Police Say 1 Killed, 6 Others Hurt In Skate Park Shooting

Police say they're still trying to identify any suspects in a shooting at an Albuquerque skate park that left a teenager dead and six others injured.

They say Sunday night's shooting at Los Altos Park appears to be gang related and involved more than one shooter.

Albuquerque police identified the person killed as 17-year-old Jaquise Lewis.

They say one person remains hospitalized in critical condition and five others have non-life threatening injuries.

Police say two vehicles were towed from the scene as investigators arranged to get search warrants.

The shooting and its aftermath drew a large crowd, prompting officers to concentrate on crowd control.

Police say some people who may have witnessed the shooting aren't being cooperative over possible concerns about retaliation.
