Keith Hargreaves, 44, a White/Caucasian male, died on September 18, 2025, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after being shot inside a home on the 5400 block of Edwards Dr. NE. Police responded in the early afternoon and found him deceased in the kitchen; a silver revolver was recovered at the scene. Initial coverage placed the incident in the Northeast Heights near Spain Road and Juan Tabo Boulevard, where detectives began a homicide investigation.
According to a criminal complaint summarized by local reporting, family members told dispatch that Hargreaves had been shot by his 20-year-old son, Anthony Michael Hargreaves. The sister said Anthony called her multiple times, admitted what he had done, and waited outside in a vehicle until officers arrived. Investigators reported no signs of a struggle inside, noted a significant head wound, and documented the discovery of brass knuckles in Anthony's pocket along with the revolver on a counter.
Detectives say Anthony told them he and his father had spent the night at the house they were repairing and smoked methamphetamine that morning before an argument escalated. He stated he used his father's gun during the confrontation. He was taken into custody, interviewed after being advised of his rights, and then booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center early the next morning.
Authorities announced that Anthony Hargreaves was jailed on a murder charge, and prosecutors later filed a motion seeking to keep him detained while the case proceeds. Reporting on the detention request describes relatives telling investigators the father had a history of verbal and physical abuse, a claim cited in court filings as context to the shooting. As of those reports, Anthony remained in custody pending further court action.
