Albuquerque police shot and killed Roman Kirby, 51, after he fled a wrong-way drive, fired at officers and a drone, and refused to surrender during a six-hour standoff on I-40 on February 4, 2026.
Roman Kirby, 51, was fatally shot by Albuquerque police on February 4, 2026, during a six-hour standoff on I-40 after he fled a wrong-way vehicle, brandished a firearm, and fired at officers and a police drone.
The incident, which began around 3:30 p.m., led to the closure of both directions of the interstate and caused major traffic disruptions.
Kirby, who had a history of violent offenses including a 2012 prison sentence for shooting his father, was cornered near an arroyo and refused to drop his weapon despite negotiations.
No officers were injured, and the investigation is ongoing.
This marks the second fatal police shooting in Albuquerque in 2026.
