A 29-year-old man on a bike was shot in the parking lot of the America’s Best Value Inn at 2003 W. Historic Hwy. 66 in Gallup at 7:20 pm May 5.

Reports from the Gallup Police Department indicate the man, identified as Kyle Sands was with three other bicyclists, two male and one female, when a car with tinted windows which could have been gray, silver, or black appeared.

A man at a nearby Lotaburger said he heard a shot and one of the men on one of the bikes fell.

His description to Officer Alana Bradley said the two males and the female left westbound in the gray car on Highway 66. He described the males as wearing white shirts and the female as skinny and in a gray jacket.

Efforts to perform CPR on the man who was shot reportedly began with people in the parking lot and continued with GPD Officer Victor Madrid who took over until the Fire Department and MedStar arrived. Madrid followed MedStar to the Gallup Indian Medical Center where the man was declared dead at 8:08 pm.

There are no suspects right now. This is an ongoing investigation. More details will be released as they become available.
