BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Law enforcement is asking for the public's help alerting them to the whereabouts of a suspect at the center of a shelter-in-place order in Broomfield on Sunday evening.
The at-large suspect has been identified as 34-year-old Heriberto Vazquez Mosqueda. Anybody with information on his whereabouts is asked to call 911 or Broomfield Police Department's non-emergency phone number at 303-438-6400.
Just after 9 p.m. on Sunday, the Broomfield Police Department learned that a Weld County Sheriff’s Office deputy had pursued a suspect driver into Broomfield. This case started as a kidnapping out of Fort Collins, Broomfield police said, though no other information about this was immediately available Monday afternoon.
The driver crashed into a backyard of a home near Compass Way and Prospect Lane, which is within the Anthem Neighborhood.
The driver, who was possibly armed, ran from the scene, Broomfield police said. A female passenger was rescued and brought to a hospital.
This prompted a shelter-in-place order in the neighborhood, which ended around 1 a.m.
Broomfield police and other law enforcement agencies combed the area with K-9s, drones with night-vision capabilities and a Colorado State patrol airplane, but they were unable to find him.
Police now believe the suspect has left the area.
