Incident Details
A man died from injuries sustained in a house explosion and fire at 1025 Walker Dr. NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on November 23.
Albuquerque Fire Rescue (AFR) investigators concluded the blast was deliberate after completing their probe over a week later.
Key Findings
Investigators discovered multiple interior gas lines had been intentionally altered, alongside a message written on an interior wall.
“All evidence has been documented and submitted, and the case is now closed,” AFR stated.
No gas leaks were found by New Mexico Gas Company technicians, who were checking a nearby property for a reported strong gas odor when the explosion occurred.
Response and Outcome
Fire crews found the man inside the damaged home and rushed him to a hospital, followed by out-of-state specialized care, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Surrounding gas readings tested negative, ruling out external system issues.
