The volume of gun violence in Colorado during the first months of 2021 has risen to a level not seen in years. According to the Gun Memorial website, which offers a space to remember victims in Colorado and across the country under the philosophy Real people, not just statistics, 33 Coloradans were killed by a firearm during January and February, the most by far for that period since the site s birth in 2015.
And there s no indication the bloodshed will stop anytime soon. Late on March 3, the Aurora Police Department reveals that a thus-far-unidentified man was fatally shot in the parking lot of a condominium complex on the 12000 block of East Harvard Avenue in the southwest part of the city.
The El Paso County Sheriff s Office on Wednesday released the names of the three shooting victims killed by a man who then turned the gun on himself last week at an apartment south of Colorado Springs.
Joseph Viera, 20 was killed, along with Pheonix Vigil, 19, and her 17-year-old brother, Sylvio Anglada, on Feb. 3 inside an apartment along Loomis Avenue, according to the sheriff’s office.
Authorities identified the shooter as 19-year-old Tristan Griffin.
Deputies found the bodies of Vigil, Anglada and Griffin when they arrived at the Stratmoor Hills apartment shortly before 5 p.m. Viera, who suffered serious wounds, was taken to the hospital, where he died a day later, the Sheriff’s Office said.
