Authorities in New Mexico's largest city said a suspect believed to be linked to at least one of the shootings at or near the homes or offices of several elected officials was in custody Monday, but they declined to release his name.
Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina said the man was being held on unrelated charges and that detectives were still awaiting the results of several outstanding search warrants filed in the investigation.
"We're just waiting to get a return on some of the information to ensure that everything we have, that the case we're building is as strong as possible and to see what other aspects are involved," Medina said.
Authorities declined to say what charges the man was being held on.

..."The Democratic Party of New Mexico said in a statement it is "deeply troubled" by the shootings.
"We encourage anyone with potentially relevant information to report it to law enforcement and hope whoever is responsible is caught swiftly," the party said.
Martinez said in a statement he's grateful his family is safe.
"I share the anger of my fellow elected officials and all those who have been targeted by such senseless acts of violence," he said. "We’re hopeful that those responsible will be caught and swiftly brought to justice."
According to Albuquerque police, the other shootings happened Dec. 10 at the former campaign office of Raúl Torrez, who was elected New Mexico's attorney general; Dec. 11 when more than a dozen gunshots hit the home of former County Commissioner Debbie O’Malley; Jan. 3 when eight shots were fired in the direction of the home of New Mexico Sen. Linda Lopez; and Jan. 5 when shots fired outside the downtown law offices of newly appointed state Sen. Moe Maestas."
