GREELY, Colo. – A man was shot and killed by a Greeley police officer during a traffic stop near North Colorado Medical Center Wednesday afternoon.
According to a news release from the 19th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team (CIRT), the Greeley officer stopped the vehicle near 21st Avenue and 16th Street at around 3:50 p.m. after which a female driver left the vehicle, but an adult male remained inside on the passenger side.
The officer “was aware the male occupant had an active felony warrant for his arrest” and ordered the man to leave the vehicle, said the CIRT. After telling the man to get out of the vehicle, he reportedly “reached toward a bag on his lap”, stated the CIRT, and the officer repeated commands but he “did not comply with the officer.”
The officer shot the man who was later pronounced dead at a hospital. According to the news release, the officer attempted life-saving measures and no officers were injured. The man’s name will be released by the Weld County Coroner’s Office and the 19th Judicial Critical Incident Response Team will investigate the shooting.
The Weld County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with information to call 970-400-5806.
