Victims identified in deadly shooting near Peyton, 4 found dead

EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) - On Dec. 6 the El Paso County Sheriff's Office (EPSO) responded to a shooting in the 21000 block of Akawi Way, in unincorporated El Paso County near Peyton.

Four people were found dead inside the home in an apparent murder-suicide.

The El Paso County Coroner's Office confirmed the identities of the four found dead at the scene.  They are identified as 54-year-old Desiree N. Vandelac, 57-year-old Robert V. Vandelac, and 30-year-old Debray A. Scott.  The Sheriff's Office says it's investigating those deaths as victims of homicide.

However, 22-year-old Peyton S. Vandelac, who was also found dead inside the residence, was not listed a homicide victim.

Family members of Debray Scott tell KRDO13 he usually hung out with friends while at the Vandelac's home about once a month, sometimes including 22-year-old Peyton.

Neighbors who live nearby to where the shocking discovery was made by deputies, called it both "sad and disturbing."

EPSO says that the exact manner and causes of death for each of the victims will not be available until the Coroner has the full autopsy results.

In addition, the Sheriffs office is not releasing the identity of the person who was injured when deputies arrived on the scene.

The investigation remains active.
