Albuquerque police are searching for a teenager who bragged on Instagram about shooting a woman in downtown Albuquerque on Aug. 13.
Damion P. was charged with two counts of battery, assault and battery. They are looking for Gallegos, 18.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Metropolitan Court, Gallegos is accused of shooting the woman around 2 a.m. in a parking lot near Seventh and Central SW.
The woman, who was shot in the arm and leg, later told police she was with a group of friends when Gallegos became agitated after he pointed a black and red gun at her friend, the complaint states.
As the woman and her friend pulled out of the parking lot, Gallegos shot her three times, according to the complaint. Her friend was grazing her wrist.
According to the complaint, after firing the shot, the friend took the woman to the back seat of two vehicles that were seen in the area. He asks them to drop her off at a local hospital, but they meet with an accident on the way.
While responding to the shooting, officers found a car wreck at Second and Lomas NW.
A police investigation found Gallegos texted several Instagram accounts on the day of the shooting, saying, “Did you see me shoot that guy,” and “I shot (expletive),” according to the complaint. When another Instagram user asked what happened, Gallegos responded, “shot somebody,” and then “down town,” according to the complaint.
The next day, Gallegos messaged another user, “Shooted Sum 1 the other day there.” He then sent several messages on Aug. 17 where he wrote that he had “shot her in the leg and arm,” consistent with the victim’s report to police, according to the complaint.
Gallegos mentioned the woman by name in a message in which he asked another user about her, then wrote to the same user and said, “That’s who I shot,” the complaint said.
Police also found several posts on Gallegos’ Instagram profile in which he posed with a red and black gun, according to the complaint.
