Pueblo Police Department searching for vehicle allegedly tied to police shooting
PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) - The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) says they are searching for a car they believe was tied to a police shooting on April 28.
Police say they are looking for a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe, with a Colorado license plate EFV-Y54. The car was believed to have been stolen. They say the white Tahoe has black rims, has a brush guard with a wench, spotlights mounted on both sides, and rear driver-side damage.
In the early morning hours of April 28, Pueblo police say they received reports of a shooting and assault near Northern and Abriendo Avenues involving three suspects in a car. Police said one suspect, a 16-year-old, fired shots at an officer, though PPD says the officer's injuries are non-life-threatening. The 16-year-old suspect also sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound during the shootout.
Police say they arrested the 16-year-old, but he isn't being named because he is a minor.
PPD said it is still investigating the initial assault and is looking for the other two people involved.
