OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On October 28, 2021, Colorado Springs Police Department officers responded to 911 reports of a man firing a handgun into an occupied vehicle near the 1600 block of South Nevada Avenue. When officers arrived, the suspect fled on foot and was tracked by police across multiple locations, including near the Vanguard School campus and later in the 1700 block of South Wahsatch Avenue. During the encounter, officers said the suspect repeatedly pointed a firearm at them. Officers fired on the suspect, identified by law enforcement as 30-year-old Ahmad Akeem Abdul Muhammad. He was struck by gunfire and taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. According to investigators, Muhammad died from his injuries on October 31, 2021. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office led the investigation, and a subsequent review by the 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office determined the use of deadly force by police was justified. No officers were injured in the incident.
