ALBUQUERQUE – The Albuquerque Police Department has issued a warrant for a man now charged in a fatal hit and run crash.
24 year-old Jose Ivan Rios Sanchez has been charged with Knowingly Leaving the Scene of an Accident Resulting in Death, and Careless Driving.
On January 19, 2025, APD's Fatal Crash Team was called to crash in the area of Carlisle and Kathryn Ave. SE involving a bicyclist and a white Dodge Ram. The truck had fled the scene and the cyclist, identified as Charles Malagodi, was located deceased in the road.
Witnesses stated they observed the driver of the truck narrowly miss a collision with another vehicle before losing control and almost driving into a park. Shortly after, they saw the driver continue eastbound on Kathryn and strike the bicyclist.
The driver then was seen fleeing the area after driving around the bicyclist lying in the road. The license plate was captured on photos provided to officers and they were able to track the vehicle to Sanchez. Through surveillance video of the driver, investigators were able to tie Sanchez to the scene of the crash.
Sanchez is currently wanted. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to call (505)-242-COPS or they can report anonymously to Crime Stoppers at (505)-843-STOP (7867) or to p3tips.com/531.
