President Joe Biden condemned the mysterious murders of four Muslims in New Mexico, which police believe may be been connected and may have been motivated by hatred.
Joe Biden took to Twitter saying, “I am angered and saddened by the horrific killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque. While we await a full investigation, my prayers are with the victims’ families, and my administration stands strongly with the Muslim community.

These hateful attacks have no place in America.

Authorities are looking into a possible connection between the murders of four Muslim men in the state’s largest city. According to reports, in an effort to identify the car, Albuquerque police said they released images of the one they believe was used in the four homicides. According to the police, the sought-after vehicle is a four-door, dark gray or silver Volkswagen with darkly tinted windows that resembles a Jetta.
Reportedly, police did not disclose the location of the photos or the circumstances surrounding their suspicions that the car was somehow connected to the crimes.
Police are also investigating any connections between the murders. In Albuquerque, a Muslim man was killed on Friday night, and over the previous nine months, three Muslim men were also killed in ambushes.
Police announced on Saturday that the newest victim was a Muslim man from South Asia who was thought to be in his mid-20s. Investigators have not yet been able to establish the man’s identity, but he was discovered dead after police got a report of a gunshot.
Aftab Hussein, 41, and Muhammed Afzaal Hussain, 27, both Pakistani men who belonged to the same mosque, were killed in the last week. The third instance includes the murder of a Muslim man of South Asian descent Mohammad Ahmadi, 62, in November.
Authorities stated that until they have identified a suspect and can ascertain a motive, they are unable to establish whether the shootings were hate crimes.
