Teen who shot Pueblo police captain sentenced to 34 years in prison

A juvenile suspect who was charged as an adult in multiple cases, including an April 2025 incident in which a Pueblo Police captain was shot, was sentenced to 34 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections on Nov. 10. The suspect, whose name has not been released because he was a juvenile at the time of the offenses, pleaded guilty to first-degree assault, a Class 3 felony, as well as attempted first-degree assault, a Class 4 felony, according to a 10th Judicial District Attorney's Office news release. The release did not detail the specific cases in which the suspect pleaded guilty due to confidentiality protections for juveniles under Colorado law. However, an official with the DA's office confirmed to the Chieftain that the shooting involving the police captain took place on April 28, 2025.

As with many other areas across the country, it was a successful election night for Democratic candidates in Pueblo County. The latest unofficial results showed Democrats winning eight of the nine candidate races decided solely by Pueblo County voters.
