Nevada Avenue Shooting Victim Identified
Colorado Springs police are investigating a shooting in the 400 block of North Nevada Avenue that killed Jimmy Crouch, 27.
“He was a really nice guy,” said Brittany Ferrence, a neighbor who lived in the same complex as Crouch. “He always helped out when I had my groceries in my hands. It was really sweet of him.”
Police said they received a call shortly after 9:30 Saturday night about a shooting. When they got on scene, they found a man had been shot in the chest by a handgun. He was rushed to the hospital but died of his injuries according to police.
Police arrested David McRea, 22. He’s being held on charges of second degree assault and manslaughter. Investigators said the two men were looking at guns when one of them went off, possibly accidentally.
