Man posts video of himself sucker-punching elderly man without provocation, New Mexico police say they can’t do anything

The video was posted to Facebook by Armando Gandara III and showed him punching someone who appears to be an elderly man in Albuquerque before running away.

The victim in this case has not come forward and we do not have a confirmed identity of the victim. Without a statement and report made by the victim this case cannot move forward. We urge the victim in the video to come forward and speak with a deputy to ensure we can move forward with appropriate charges in the pursuit of justice.

The post was later removed.

KOB also spoke to Amanda Kimbrel, who says she works alongside Gandara at UPS and fears his violence may escalate. She says working in the same place as the man has her fearing for her life.

“When I go to work every morning, I am, my anxiety level is through the roof because I don’t know what he’s going to do,” she said. “No precautions have been taken to secure my safety or my co-workers. I go to work every day wondering, ‘Am I going to die today?’ And I know that sounds dramatic, but it’s truly not because he is completely unhinged.”

Kimbrel says she filed a restraining order against Gandara in January but that he keeps violating it without any repercussions.

Kimbrel says she plans on taking Gandara to court over the restraining order violations but she hopes that the elderly victim will also step forward and press charges.

“People need to stand up to people like this, and stop taking it,” she said. “So whoever that older gentleman was that he, you know, sucker punched like that. I hope he comes forward.”
