Officer from Albuquerque, previously employed, faces murder accusation related to a traffic collision involving a pedestrian, which occurred outside his work duties.
In an update from earlier this year, a grand jury indictment was issued against former Albuquerque police officer Ezekiel Florez on charges of homicide by vehicle, knowingly leaving the scene of an accident, and tampering with evidence. The charges are in connection to a hit-and-run motorcycle crash that occurred on May 22, 2023, resulting in the death of a 37-year-old man named Daniel Trujillo.
The indictment further alleges that Officer Florez, who is 29 years old, tampered with evidence related to the crash. However, as of the current date (August 11, 2025), no new public details about this case can be confirmed from the sources searched. This includes Albuquerque police department releases, Bernalillo County court records, or credible local news outlets covering the case.
It should be noted that the search results did not yield any information or court records related to this incident or indictment. They did, however, include jail and court information from various unrelated cases and jurisdictions, but none mentioned Ezekiel Florez or the specific hit-and-run case in Albuquerque.
