"There are still many questions that need answers when it comes to Sunday's officer-involved shooting, but one witness thinks he knows why the man was illegally camping in the foothills.\"I heard him saying he didn't have a place to live anymore,\" said Edward Grey. \"But he still could have gone to a shelter instead of staying up here to die.\"The problem is there is a great demand for shelter space in Albuquerque.\"We know that even with all the shelter beds in Albuquerque, there wouldn't be enough beds to go around for everybody that's homeless,\" said Rene Palacios, the Assistant Executive Director at the Albuquerque Rescue Mission.Palacios said there are thousands who need a roof over their heads on any given night, and if people can't stay in shelters, open spaces like the foothills are a safer choice than the alternative.\"If you're just sleeping out on a sidewalk in downtown Albuquerque, there's a good chance someone will see if you have anything worthwhile to take, or sometimes they'll just be beaten up for no reason,\" he said.Palacios says another reason people camp is because they may have been barred from services because drug use or violence."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
