On September 30, 2025 Fort Collins Police Services (FCPS) published a notification to the public about a shooting incident at the 100 block of West Fairway Lane. While detectives are still investigating, they have determined this was a murder-suicide as an act of domestic violence.

When police arrived at the incident, the adult male suspect shooter was deceased. Officers quickly rendered aid to the adult female victim and facilitated her transfer to an area hospital. She succumbed to her injury late the following afternoon.

"No one should ever have to live in fear or experience violence from someone they love or trust. As the investigation continues, we remain committed to supporting the victim’s loved ones and all those impacted by this devastating situation," said FCPS Chief, Jeff Swoboda.
