'It's fine. I'm fine. Everything is fine.' Family and city pay respects to late APD officer

Published Modified

Roughly 400 people paid their respects on Monday to Albuquerque police officer Bianca Quintana, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver in the South Valley on Aug. 1.

Authorities say Quintana was struck while off duty and walking, that the driver fled the scene and has not been found. The incident is being investigated by the Bernalillo County Sheriff鈥檚 Office. Quintana was 31 years old.

鈥淗opefully somebody will come turn themselves in because it鈥檚 hard. It鈥檚 really hard,鈥 Bianca鈥檚 uncle Tony Alderette said before Monday鈥檚 celebration of life at Legacy Church-Central Campus. 鈥淗ow can they be living with what they did? How can somebody live day by day knowing that they took somebody鈥檚 life?

鈥淛ust come forward and say, 鈥極K, hey I did it,鈥 and that hasn鈥檛 happened. One day, hopefully. Much better sooner than later.鈥

Some people who came to service wore white T-shirts with Quintana鈥檚 badge number on the front and her softball uniform number 22 and name on the back. On the sleeve, the shirt read, 鈥淚t鈥檚 fine. I鈥檓 fine. Everything is fine.鈥

鈥淭hose are the words that she lived by,鈥 David Quintana, Bianca鈥檚 husband, said during his eulogy. 鈥淟ike each and every one of us, she had struggles, she had challenges, obstacles, conflicts in life. She managed them daily. To her, it really didn鈥檛 matter the challenges that she was facing, because she cared so much for others and wanted to do everything she possibly could to ensure that everybody else was OK.鈥

Bianca served with the Los Lunas Police Department before joining Albuquerque Police Department in 2022. She worked in APD鈥檚 Foothills Area Command.

鈥淗er desire to become an officer stemmed from her desire to help people,鈥 her online obituary said. 鈥淚n every facet of her life, she wanted to help those in need and decided that becoming an officer would give her the best opportunity to do so.鈥

David Quintana said he remembered them leaving a family barbecue with leftovers. On the way home, Bianca told him to bring the food to a group of unhoused people who lived down the road. After handing over the food, she left some of the people business cards with her phone number on it.

A couple of days later, David said, Bianca came home excited after helping an unhoused person who reached out to her.

鈥淭hat鈥檚 who Bianca was,鈥 he said, 鈥渁nd that鈥檚 why I fell in love with her as hard and easily as I did.鈥

Her sergeant, Albert Simmons, said he will miss many things including her loving heart and sense of humor 鈥 even the times she would put Dunkin鈥 Donuts on his desk despite him telling her to 鈥渒nock it off.鈥

But 鈥渕ost of all, I鈥檓 going to miss my little sister,鈥 he said.

MariaIsabelle Dominguez said her sister was a hero 鈥 defined, she said, as someone willing to sacrifice to help others without the consideration of their own safety.

鈥淚t didn鈥檛 matter what she was up against,鈥 Dominguez said. 鈥淪he had this hunger to be better every day, whether it was in school, being a mom, or an even better police officer. She was unstoppable.鈥

Mayor Tim Keller said the city declared Sept. 9 to be 鈥淏ianca Quintana Day, in remembrance of the life that she lived.鈥

鈥淪he never sought attention or the spotlight, yet she was a rock, always there for others,鈥 Keller said.

A way people can honor her, he said, is by 鈥渄evoting ourselves to our community鈥 and families like she did.
