...Detective said the wound is not self-inflicted.

Will you let us know if you hear her condition. Praying she survives and make a full recovery.

Have LE found the white cadillac?

Jeez, I cannot find any more info on this to save my life! Prayers for this poor woman!! :-(

The link above mentions a white Cadillac leaving the scene. I have a sick feeling that prostitution/trafficking might be a component. Here's another article with a few more details:

"The Albuquerque Police Department is investigating a shooting in a hotel room in SE Albuquerque Sunday morning. APD is on scene at Quality Suites Hotel on Gibson Boulevard near University Boulevard where a woman was found with a gunshot wound to the head...."

and

"....One woman is being detained for questioning."

Another article which states that LE was called to the scene around 9 am and that they are looking for two suspects:

I wonder if it was some kind of setup with two suspects.

I am watching the local news now, but no word so far

Oh no, kob.com says she is brain dead...

The comments here attribute this to gangs. Am I to understand this is NOT human trafficking related? Any time a reasonably nice and centrally located motel/hotel is involved, I always consider trafficking.

Any update on her status since earlier?

 

[cluciano63]

Watching the noon local news now to see if they give an update, but there is a big storm on the way, so that will be the main news...

The victim is 22, on life support, name is Brandy, did not catch last name. One woman has been questioned, still looking for the white car and checking hotel records. They say it is not a murder investigation? but that homicide is investigating. What does that mean?

PS-I guess they are saying that as technically, the victim is still alive...
