An Afghan man accused of killing two Muslim men in Albuquerque was driving to Texas when he was arrested, and the police said they found a bullet casing in his car that matched those found at one of four crime scenes around the city.

A police detective wrote in a criminal complaint that the suspect, Muhammad Syed, 51, who himself is Muslim, denied that he had anything to do with any of the four killings that have shaken Muslims in Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city.

According to the complaint, Mr. Syed told police officers who stopped his car Monday night that he had been driving to Houston to find a new place for his family to live because things were “bad” in Albuquerque, and he referred to the recent shootings. He was pulled over about 100 miles from the Texas state line.
