ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A New Mexican is now among those killed by the Boar’s Head listeria outbreak, according to the CDC.
In the last 10 minutes, KOB 4 learned it was an elderly Bernalillo County woman. This comes after the CDC updated the number of victims to eight due to a listeria outbreak in Boar’s Head deli meats.
At least 57 people have gotten sick and had to be hospitalized.
The CDC says people 65 and older, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of getting sick with listeria.
Boar’s Head has recalled more than seven million pounds of deli meat. Many of the recalled products are meant to be sliced at grocery store deli counters, some pre-packaged meats are also in the recall.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — NM is helping MN with ideas about public safety.
From the Twin Cities came around 36 public safety officials to the Duke City to learn about Albuquerque Community Safety. The Pohlad Family Foundation brought in these officials to learn about ACS. A spokesperson for the foundation said those in the Twin Cities want to see a similar program in their communities.
“When George Floyd was murdered in our streets in Minneapolis, one of the things the community cried out for was a response that was different. Right? Something new and different. Realizing that all police calls don’t have to be answered by a person with a gun and a badge,” said Susan Bass Roberts, the president of the foundation.
ACS is an alternative response system that sends in trained professionals with backgrounds in mental and behavioral health to nonviolent and nonmedical 911 calls.
An ACS spokesperson says it’s humbling to see cities across the country implement similar programs.
ACS recently opened new headquarters in the International District. The flagship building will house their staff and first responders.
ACS is a 24/7 operation. Since it began in 2021, they have answered more than 80,000 calls.

Richmond Raceway will host just one Cup Series race weekend instead of its usual two during the 2025 season after NASCAR confirmed the introduction of Mexico City.
During the announcement, NASCAR executive Ben Kennedy revealed:
“We’re still committed to Richmond. It’s an important track, an important market certainly, as we think about where our NASCAR fans are today.
“We’ve seen some exciting story lines certainly coming out of that track over the past few years and excited to continue to be there next year, put on a great event for our fans, and put a lot of that energy and resources into that event.”

The inaugural NASCAR Cup Series race in Mexico is set for June 15, 2025, at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, a track with a rich history in motorsports.
Reflecting on the global vision for NASCAR, Kennedy added:
“This has been on our radar for a long time. We’ve been talking about the continued iteration of our schedule, right? You can go back a few years, went to new markets like Nashville and Austin, Texas.
“We went to the Coliseum for the Clash. … We went to our first street race in downtown Chicago, and this is going to be another first for us in a lot of ways. This is going to be certainly a monumental event for us, the first time we’re going south of the border.”
Kennedy added:
“It’s huge. When we talk as a leadership team about where we feel like our biggest growth opportunities as a sport is, international is always one of the first things that comes up.
“We brought the Craftsman Truck Series to Canada for a number of years, we’ve had the Xfinity Series in Mexico. This is a monumental moment for our sport in the sense that this is our first step of really taking the Cup Series internationally, and I think it could set us up for the future in potential new markets.
“I think we’ve been honest about our interest in taking our Cup Series abroad, whether that’s north of the border or south of the border, and then as we talk about some of our other races, there are opportunities for us to take the Cup Series even further than that.
“So, it’s going to be a big project for us. There’s a lot of questions that we have. I’m sure that the industry will have some questions as well, but excited to take this on, and to go to one of the biggest markets — not just in the country, but in the world — is going to be huge for our sport.”
