(PUEBLO, Colo.) — The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) is investigating after a man suffered life-threatening gunshot injuries on Pueblo’s east side on Monday, June 26.

According to PPD, officers responded just after 5:45 p.m. on Monday to the area of East 15th Street and Troy Avenue, just south of the Troy Avenue/Highway 50 intersection, on a reported shooting.

When officers arrived, they found a man lying in the alley just west of Troy Avenue between East 14th Street and 15th Street. The man had blood on his neck, face, and knee, and was conscious when officers arrived. He was able to tell officers that he had been shot.

During their investigation, officers found video evidence that showed a white car driving south on Troy Avenue which then turned west into the alley where the victim was found. The car pulled up next to the victim, who was standing in the alley at the time.
