Couple arrested after fatal car shooting in Jefferson County

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- A couple has been arrested after a fatal shooting in Jefferson County earlier this week.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) says it arrested 25-year-old Steven Simpson and 26-year-old Corryn Simpson in the shooting death of 23-year-old Andrew Bott.

According to officials, the Simpsons were driving near West Belleview Avenue and South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton when they got into an altercation with a truck.

JCSO says Corryn called the Littleton Police Department to report a truck had struck their car around 10:30 p.m. on July 25, then fled. The Simpsons then followed the truck while talking to dispatch, even after the dispatcher asked them to stop.

During the 911 call, Steven can be heard making a threatening statement shortly followed by the sound of two gunshots, according to officials.

A few minutes later, the driver of the truck called 911 to report someone had fired shots at his car, hitting his passenger, Bott, in the head. Bott later died at the hospital, JCSO says.

Steven is being held on a charge of first-degree murder. Corryn is being held on charges of accessory to a crime, according to officials.
