The following is a digest of notable incidents reported by the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) over the past week.
On Monday, March 31, at approximately 2:21 p.m., CSPD officers responded to a parking lot near Pikes Peak Avenue and South Nevada Avenue regarding a suspect allegedly breaking into vehicles and threatening someone with a firearm. When officers attempted to take the suspect into custody, he exited a vehicle armed. An officer discharged their weapon, striking the suspect, who was declared deceased on the scene despite medical assistance. No one else was injured. A firearm was recovered, and the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is conducting the investigation as required by state law.
Earlier that same day, at approximately 4 a.m., Colorado State Patrol (CSP) troopers pursued a white Honda Odyssey along northbound I-25, south of Briargate Parkway, after it nearly sideswiped a trooper conducting a traffic stop. The pursuit concluded at Highway 83 near North Gate Boulevard after a tactical vehicle intervention. The driver, 19-year-old Analecia Lovato, was arrested and faces multiple charges, including vehicular eluding, driving under the influence, reckless driving, and violation of a restraining order. Both the driver and a passenger suffered minor injuries and were treated before Lovato was booked into the El Paso County Jail. No troopers were injured, and minor patrol vehicle damage was reported.
On March 13, CSPD responded to an incident at a store on North Academy Boulevard near Vickers Drive where a man, identified as Nathan Xayavong, allegedly engaged in indecent exposure and unwanted sexual contact involving multiple victims, including a child. Surveillance video corroborated victim accounts. Xayavong was arrested later that day in the parking lot of his apartment complex and reportedly admitted partial involvement. He faces charges including indecent exposure and sexual contact without consent. The case remains active, with Xayavong scheduled for a court appearance on April 24.
Any significant trends observed include multiple incidents involving suspects armed with firearms and reckless behavior during vehicle chases. This aligns with an observed focus on such risks in the city.
Anyone with information about these or other crimes is encouraged to contact CSPD at 719-444-7000. For anonymous tips, reach out to Crime Stoppers at 719-634-STOP (7867).
