U.S. President Joe Biden says he is angered by the killings of four Muslim men in New Mexico
Police say the deaths of four Muslim men may be linked, as an investigation commences into their killings.
Albuquerque Police say “young man who is part of the Muslim community was murdered,” overnight on Friday.
They did not identify the man but he is believed to be in his mid-20s, Muslim and “a native from south Asia”.
His body was discovered near an office that offers help to refugees.
Two of the previous victims were Pakistani man, 27, and a 41-year-old male.
“The targeted killings of Muslim residents of Albuquerque is deeply angering and wholly intolerable.”
Michelle Lujan Grisham, GOVERNOR of new mexico
Police have identified a vehicle of interest, as authorities provide extra presence at mosques during prayer times.
The killings have taken place across nine months, and authorities are growing concerned they could be related.
There are up to 5,000 Muslims in Albuquerque, which is New Mexico’s largest city.
