一名13岁的男孩因谋杀被捕，警方称他和另外两名青少年去年在新墨西哥州故意撞倒一名骑自行车的人，这起致命的肇事逃逸事件被车内拍摄下来。
警方表示，他们仍在寻找与这起事件有关的另外两个孩子，一个15岁的男孩也面临谋杀指控，另一个12岁的男孩。
警方表示，2024年5月29日早上，63岁的受害者斯科特·哈伯梅尔(Scott Habermehl)在骑车上班时被撞上了一辆肇事逃逸汽车。
警方表示，没有目击者看到车辆逃离，调查人员也无法找到这起事件的任何监控录像。
阿尔伯克基警察局长哈罗德·梅迪纳说，除非从事故车辆内拍摄的视频被发布在社交媒体上，否则案件可能不会得到解决。
麦地那说，警方周二公布的这段视频“极其令人不安”。
麦地那在周二的新闻发布会上说:“你听到了人们的讨论，他们看到了骑在自行车上的那个人，他们决定要打他，他们只是要撞他，然后他们杀了这个人。”
“我们都看到了，这种事发生在另一个人身上实在是太可怕了，”他说。
据阿尔伯克基警察局刑事调查科的凯尔·哈特索克中校说，在两名青少年向父母和阿尔伯克基的一名中学官员报告了视频后，警方在2月份获得了新的线索。
哈特索克在新闻发布会上说:“视频已经发布到Instagram上，显示三个人在一辆车里故意碾过一名骑自行车的人。”
警方表示，警方确定该视频来自2024年5月29日的肇事逃逸，并能够识别出车内的三个人，据信这辆车是被盗的。哈特索克说，他们“简直是在笑他们逃跑时做了什么”。
在视频中，可以听到有人问:“你们在录吗?”
警察说，据信是15岁的后排乘客在汽车加速后说“撞他，老兄”。
“比如撞他?”司机回答。
“是啊，只是撞了他一下。后面的乘客说:“大概15、20英里。
警方发布的视频在碰撞前结束。
麦地那说，这三名少年被认为是朋友。当局认为那个13岁的男孩当时正在开车。
哈特索克说，警方上周晚些时候获得了对这两名青少年的谋杀逮捕令。
警方称，这名13岁的少年于周一被拘留，并被送入青少年拘留中心。警方说，去年他被阿尔伯克基警方逮捕后，一直处于少年缓刑期。警方说，他因涉嫌谋杀、共谋谋杀、离开涉及重大人身伤害或死亡的事故现场以及非法持有手枪而被捕。
警方请求公众帮助寻找另外两名少年。哈特索克敦促这名面临与另一名少年相同指控的15岁少年自首。
警方称，这名12岁的男孩在托兰斯县失踪，并被列为离家出走者。警方说，他太年轻了，不能被指控和关进教养所。
“我们希望系统的其余部分能够处理这个人，并确保他们的所作所为有后果，并确保他们在可能的情况下得到康复，”麦地那说。
据警方称，视频中有人看到这名12岁的男孩持有枪支。麦地那说，还不清楚武器发生了什么。
麦地那说，事发时男孩才11岁，称这么小的年龄“令人惊讶”
“我们这里所有有孩子的人，想想你们11岁的孩子在外面做这些。这简直令人难以置信，”麦地那说。
局长说他们相信已经找到了肇事车辆。
阿尔伯克基市长蒂姆·凯勒称这一事件“不可思议”。
“一方面，这是令人难以置信的令人心碎的事情，因为他们的年龄以及他们是如何陷入暴力循环的，”他在新闻发布会上说。“另一方面，这绝对是可怕的。”
麦地那说，据信这些少年并不认识受害者，并指出，“这似乎是随机的。”
哈伯梅尔在桑迪亚国家实验室工作，根据他的说法，他的妻子和两个儿子健在死亡的.
讣告中写道:“斯科特非常乐意与儿子们分享他的爱好，无论是在院子里打棒球，骑自行车穿越丛林，在他心爱的落基山脉徒步旅行，还是在穷乡僻壤与他们一起滑雪。”
麦地那此时要求为家人保密。
“在某种程度上，他们第一次感到痛苦，觉得这个人是机动车死亡的受害者，”他说。“现在，随着新信息的出现，我确信它撕开了新的伤口。”
凯勒记得哈伯梅尔是“桑迪亚实验室社区的正直成员”，他“成就卓著，深受科拉莱斯社区人们的喜爱。”
市长赞扬了警察局的调查。
“现在我们知道发生了什么，我们至少可以说出斯科特到底发生了什么，”凯勒说。“这个真理包含了一个我们都必须对自己负责的真理，那就是我们每个人都有自己的角色。在这种情况下，有成千上万的方式，成千上万的裂缝让这个孩子，这些孩子，掉了进去。但这绝不是借口。”
“我们必须承诺做更多的事情，我们所有人都有一个我们认为可以改善这个刑事司法系统的答案，对我们来说，我们知道我们的第一步实际上是抓住剩下的两个人，”他继续说。
13-year-old boy arrested for murder in fatal hit-and-run of bicyclist: Police
A 13-year-old boy has been arrested for murder after police said he and two other juveniles intentionally ran down a bicyclist in New Mexico last year in a fatal hit-and-run that was filmed from inside the vehicle.
Police said they are still searching for the two other children -- a 15-year-old boy who also faces a murder charge and a 12-year-old boy -- in connection with the incident.
The victim, 63-year-old Scott Habermehl, was riding in a bike lane the morning of May 29, 2024, while commuting to work when he was struck in a hit-and-run, police said.
Police said there were no witnesses who saw the vehicle flee, and investigators were unable to find any surveillance footage of the incident.
Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina said the case likely would have gone unsolved -- until video taken from inside the vehicle of the incident was posted on social media.
The video, which police released on Tuesday, is "extremely disturbing," Medina said.
"You hear the discussion of, they see the guy on the bike, and they make the decision that they're going to strike him, they're just going to bump him, and they murdered this individual," Medina said during a press briefing on Tuesday.
"We've all looked at it, and it is just horrific that this could be done to another human being," he said.
Police got a new lead on the case in February, after two juveniles reported the video, one to a parent and the other to a middle school official in Albuquerque, according to Cmdr. Kyle Hartsock with the Albuquerque Police Department's criminal investigation division.
"The video had been posted to Instagram showing three individuals in a car purposely running over a cyclist," Hartsock said during the press briefing.
Officers determined the video was from the May 29, 2024, hit-and-run, and were able to identify the three individuals in the car, which is believed to have been stolen, police said. They were "literally laughing about what they had just done as they fled," Hartsock said.
In the video, someone can be heard asking, "Are you guys recording it?"
The back passenger, who police said is believed to be the 15-year-old, says to "just bump him, brah" after the car accelerates.
“Like bump him?” the driver responds.
"Yeah, just bump him. Go like 15, 20," the back passenger says.
The video released by police ends just before the collision.
The three juveniles are believed to be friends, Medina said. Authorities believe the 13-year-old was driving the car at the time.
Police obtained murder arrest warrants for the two teenagers late last week, Hartsock said.
The 13-year-old was taken into custody on Monday and booked into a juvenile detention center, police said. He had been on juvenile probation following an arrest by Albuquerque police last year, police said. He was arrested on an open count of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, leaving the scene of an accident involving great bodily harm or death and unlawful possession of a handgun by a person, police said.
Police are asking for the public's help in locating the two other juveniles. Hartsock urged the 15-year-old, who faces the same charges as the other teen, to turn himself in.
The 12-year-old is a missing person out of Torrance County and is listed as a runaway, police said. He is too young to be charged and booked into a correctional facility, police said.
"We hope that the rest of the system is able to deal with this individual and make sure there's consequences for what they have done, and make sure that they're rehabilitated if it's possible," Medina said.
The 12-year-old was seen holding a firearm in the video, according to police. Medina said it is unclear what happened to the weapon.
The boy was 11 at the time of the incident, Medina said, calling the young age "surprising."
"All of us that have kids in here, think of your 11-year-old out doing this. It is just mind-boggling," Medina said.
The chief said they believe they have tracked down the vehicle involved in the incident.
Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller called the incident "unimaginable."
"It's something that, on the one hand, is incredibly heartbreaking because of their age and how they're caught up in the cycle of violence," he said at the briefing. "On the other hand, this is absolutely terrifying."
The juveniles are not believed to have known the victim, Medina said, noting, "It seems random."
Habermehl worked at Sandia National Labs and is survived by his wife and two sons, according to hisobituary.
"Scott took great joy in sharing his hobbies with his sons, whether it was playing baseball in the yard, biking through the Bosque, hiking in his beloved Rocky Mountains, or skiing with them in the backcountry," the obituary stated.
Medina asked for privacy for the family at this time.
"They, in a way, suffered the first time, feeling that this individual was the victim of a motor vehicle death," he said. "Now, with the new information that's come out, I'm sure it ripped open new wounds."
Keller remembered Habermehl as a "stand-up member of the Sandia Labs community" who was "well-accomplished and loved by folks in his community out in Corrales."
The mayor commended the police department on its investigation.
"Now we know what happened, we can at least tell the truth about what happened to Scott," Keller said. "That truth involves a truth we all have to hold ourselves accountable to, which is we each have a role to play. And in this case, there are dozens and dozens of ways, dozens of cracks that this child, these children, fell through. But that is never an excuse."
"We have to commit to do more and all of us have an answer of what we think would improve this criminal justice system, and for us, we know that our first step is actually to catch these remaining two individuals," he continued.
