ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — New Mexico State Police officers were called to a deadly road rage shooting on I-25 Thursday afternoon.

Northbound I-25 was shut down at mile marker 209, near Isleta Pueblo, due to the investigation.

At around 2 p.m. Thursday, an NMSP officer pulled over to check on a vehicle on the shoulder of I-25. The officer then realized that a road rage shooting had just happened, and a man had been shot.
