Littleton Police Hope Video Will Lead To Suspects
LITTLETON, Colo. (CBS4)- Police in Littleton have released new video in hopes of catching the suspects wanted for a carjacking and shooting that left one man dead.
Police rushed to 8122 Southpark Lane in the area of West Mineral Avenue and South Windermere Street on a report of a shooting about 5:30 a.m. March 18.
Two men had arrived early to plow the parking lot before everyone in the adjacent office building arrived.
The YouTube video released by detectives shows the plow driving by followed by two suspects walking along the road in the same direction as the plow.
When officers arrived they found Jaime Albert Villarreal, 23, from Thornton deceased from a gunshot wound. Another male victim had also been shot but was rushed to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He was able to help investigators with the sketch of one of the suspects.
Investigators say the victim's vehicle was stolen in the carjacking -- a Ford pickup truck with a snow plow attached. A short time later officers found the pickup abandoned and on fire about two miles away near Broadway and Jamison.
Arson investigators examined the truck for evidence in hopes it will lead them to the suspects.
Police released a sketch earlier this week of a man believed to be involved in the shooting.
In addition to the sketch police say the two men were possibly Hispanic in their 20s with thin builds, clean shaven and dressed in black.
