The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) said when officers arrived that night, they found items that led them to believe an improvised explosive device had been used. The Regional Explosives Unit then took over the investigation.
According to CSPD, a week later, the explosives unit obtained a search warrant for a residence in the 700 block of E. Vermijo Ave. Three days after that, an arrest warrant was sought for 69-year-old Edward Kiley. The next day, Jan. 23, Kiley was taken into custody without incident.

In June 2024, CSPD announced that Kiley had been indicted on two federal charges but did not specify what the charges were.
New court documents now reveal that Kiley is expected to take a plea deal in which he would plead guilty to multiple charges related to possession of a firearm or ammunition as a previously convicted felon.
