ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Albuquerque police confirmed they are investigating a deadly stabbing that occurred Thursday morning on a city bus.

Officers responded around 9 a.m. Thursday to reports of a stabbing in the area of Central and Coors. They arrived and found one person dead.

Police say the suspect is 19-year-old Charles Madrid. They say bus surveillance video shows Madrid and the victim getting into a fight onboard, and then Madrid stabbed the victim in the neck.

They say the principal contacted officers after hearing about the stabbing, and they arrested Madrid at home. 

Madrid will remain in jail until his trial.
