Lakewood Police Agent Shot and Killed in the Line of Duty

11/5/26

At approximately 6:30 pm on the evening of November 5, 2026, Lakewood Police responded to a call of a suspicious person near the intersection of West Colfax Ave. and Wadsworth Blvd. A suspect from an earlier
hit and run incident was spotted boarding an RTD bus heading northbound.

Lakewood agents came in contact with the suspect on the bus, when the suspect began firing at agents. Lakewood agents fired back, killing the suspect. The
suspect's name is not being released at this time. A bystander was also injured in the incident. The extent of their injuries are unknown.

Four Lakewood agents were shot during the incident and taken to local hospitals, suffering from serious to critical injuries. Three of our agents are in stable condition. Our hearts are with them and their families as they work towards healing and recovery.

The Lakewood Police Department is devastated to announce that one of our agents has died as a result of their injuries. Words cannot express the profound sorrow our department and community feel tonight over the loss of our fallen hero, who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to Lakewood. Our hearts are heavy, and we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their loved ones, lifting them up in unwavering support, love, and prayer during this unimaginable time. We are not releasing our agent's name at this time.

The First Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team will be investigating this case as per protocol.

The Lakewood Police Department wants to thank all of the first responders who raced to aid our downed agents and community members. We would also like to thank our community for the support they have already shown our Lakewood Police family.

We will give further updates tomorrow after we have reviewed the tremendous amount of incoming information.

This week, the U.S. Marshals Colorado Violent Offender Task Force (COVOTF) was requested to assist the @CityofAlamosa Police Department in a large-scale, multi-jurisdiction takedown operation of a drug-trafficking organization (DTO) operating in the San Luis Valley.

Over 30 Deputy U.S. Marshals & Task Force Officers along with 14 members of the @CSP_News SOAR team executed search warrants at 3 separate properties and apprehended 12 members of the DTO who had felony arrest warrants issued for them.

A total of 44 firearms were seized in addition to large quantities of illegal narcotics, thousands of dollars in illicit funds, and luxury property purchased with proceeds from narcotics trafficking.

COVOTF members from Alamosa P.D., Alamosa County S.O., @Colorado_DOC, @CBI_Colorado, @FPD_PIO, @PuebloCountySO, @PoliceEnglewood, & @RockyFordPolice teamed with CSP SOAR to execute the search warrants and conduct the arrest actions all in less than 24 hrs.

Homicide Suspect in Custody

Fugitive Robeiker MEJIAS-GONZALEZ, wanted by @Glendale_PD_CO on an arrest warrant for 1st Degree Murder, is back in the U.S. and in custody. On 9/17, MEJIAS-GONZALEZ, a Venezuelan citizen, was detained by @INAMI_mx for not having legal status to be present in Mexico. They also learned he had an active arrest warrant for homicide in Colorado and immediately contacted the @USMarshalsHQ Mexico Foreign Field Office (MFFO). The Colorado Violent Offender Task Force (COVOTF) in Denver was then notified and contacted Glendale PD, who requested assistance from the USMS in returning MEJIAS-GONZALEZ to the United States to face charges.

The USMS MFFO coordinated with INM to remove MEJIAS-GONZALEZ from Mexico and on Tuesday, he was taken into custody by members of the USMS Florida-Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF) in Miami. He was then turned over to @MiamiDade_SO custody and is awaiting extradition back to Colorado. #FugitiveFriday

Partnerships we are so proud of!

Recently, U.S. Marshals from across the country came to our Helitack base to prepare themselves and their K-9s with training on our Douglas County helicopter.
