Home-Invasion Shooting In Fort Collins: Police Ask For Tips

FORT COLLINS, CO -- Fort Collins police asked for the public's help to solve a Monday night shooting about one mile from the CSU campus. Police said around 9:47 p.m., they received word of a 23-year-old male who had been shot in an apartment complex at West Plum Street and South Taft Hill Road. The victim was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

According to a police statement, the victim was alone at home, when someone knocked on his apartment door. When he answered, three unknown males attempted to force their way into the apartment, police said. The suspects kicked in the door and fired weapons, striking the victim, then fled.

Police said a white vehicle--possibly a Nissan or Kia-- with plastic silver/chrome-style rims may have been associated with the suspects. The suspects did not take anything from the home, and none of the other people in the residence or apartment complex were injured, police said.

The suspects were all described as approximately 5’10 tall. One was described as chubbier in build, wore a white shirt and had a fade haircut. The second was wearing dark clothing and a gray cap. The third was wearing dark clothing and either a black hoodie or Nike cap with a red swoosh.
