On Friday, November 17, 2023, at approximately 9:08 PM, the Colorado Springs Police Department received a call about a shooting in the 500 block of Bonfoy Avenue. Upon arrival, they found an adult male who was suffering from at least one gunshot wound. Despite officers’ and responding medical personnel’s attempts to render aid, the male succumbed to his injury. The CSPD Homicide Unit assumed the investigation.
On Monday, November 20, 2023, the El Paso County Coroner’s Office conducted an autopsy on the deceased male. He has been identified as 49-year-old, Daniel Ramirez, of Colorado Springs. Although the coroner’s office will determine the cause and manner of death, CSPD is investigating this as a homicide. A photo of Mr. Ramirez has been provided by his family below.
This was the 30th homicide in 2023. At the same time last year, CSPD investigated 48 homicides.
This is still an active investigation, and anyone with information or who is a witness to this investigation is asked to call the Colorado Springs Police Department at (719) 444-7000; or if you wish to remain anonymous, you may call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at (719) 634-STOP (7867) or 1-800-222-8477.
