Deadly police shooting investigation underway after suspect drives through Pueblo flea market
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) - The Pueblo Police Department responded to the scene of a shooting between police and two suspects at the Pueblo flea market on Saturday morning.
Pueblo police say they were tracking a stolen vehicle at 9 a.m. when they found the car near the shopping center. They say shots were fired between police and two suspects on Cambridge Ave and Amherst Ave.
According to officers, the driver backed into the Pueblo flea market, where police fired and killed that suspect.
Officers say one citizen was hit by the vehicle and they were transported to a hospital. The man hit was 76-year-old Carmel Manzaneres, a seller at the Flea Market. He is now in stable condition with two broken ribs.
The other suspect reportedly jumped out of the car and ran towards a nearby apartment complex. Police then used a K9 to locate the suspect one block away. He is now in custody.
