Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) announced Tuesday that a 19‑year‑old man, identified as Kedrick Singleton, and a juvenile suspect have been arrested in connection with a shooting that occurred early on Halloween.
Incident details
Officers were dispatched to the 4200 block of Apollo Village Circle at about 12:05 a.m. on October 31 after receiving multiple reports of gunfire. Witnesses said shots were fired in a parking lot and that an apartment building in a nearby complex was struck.
When officers arrived, they located the scene of the shooting but did not initially find a victim. Shortly thereafter, CSPD was notified that a gunshot victim had been taken to a local hospital. The victim was later confirmed to be linked to the October 31 incident and remains in serious, but stable, condition after surgery.
Police response
The department mobilized a coordinated effort on November 9, involving detectives from the Assault Unit, Strategic Investigations Unit, Armed Violent Offender Unit, tactical enforcement members, school resource officers, the Real‑Time Crime Center, and District 49 security personnel.
Investigators executed three residential search warrants and two vehicle search warrants at several locations throughout Colorado Springs. The raids resulted in the arrest of the two suspects.
Charges
Both the 19‑year‑old and the juvenile are now facing charges of attempted first‑degree murder, first‑degree assault, and multiple weapons‑related offenses. CSPD emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing and that additional information may be released as the case progresses.
Community impact
The shooting has raised concerns among residents of the Apollo Village Circle area, many of whom expressed relief that law‑enforcement acted swiftly to apprehend those believed to be responsible. Local leaders have urged community members to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to police.
