Suspect at large identified in Lafayette double shooting; one victim has since died
Lafayette police believe a suspect is at large following an early-morning double shooting in Lafayette.
The shooting happened around 3 a.m. Saturday at the Copper Stone Apartments, located at 750 South Lafayette Drive. No apartment number was given.
A suspect has since been identified as Anthony Yohari Lopez Olguin, 24. Police officials believe he's armed and dangerous and are telling people not to approach if they see him.
He's described as 5'10" and about 200 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes.
A Lafayette Police Department spokesman Saturday morning didn't know the condition of the victims but said that when their officers arrived, there were two people - a male and a female of unspecified age - with gunshot wounds. Around 5:30 p.m., police said one of the victims died while the other is recovering in a hospital.
"We believe there is a suspect at large," Lafayette Police Sgt. Jeremy Molander told CBS News Colorado. "The suspect is believed to be a former significant other of the adult female victim. The relationship between the deceased adult male and the other two individuals is still being investigated."
"The adult female victim is believed to have been shot by the suspect while she was on the phone with 9-1-1," Molander said.
Police say they have the suspect's vehicle, a white 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, but want to know more information about where the vehicle was earlier on Saturday before they found it.
Anyone with information about the suspect or his vehicle is asked to call Boulder County Communications at 303-441-4444 and ask for a Lafayette police detective.
