Last week’s shooting that left three Colorado Springs teenagers dead was the result of a road-rage incident, the city’s police said Wednesday.
Wayne Fix, 19, his brother, Aaron Fix, 16, and friend Austin Howse, 16, were shot to death while in a sport utility vehicle in the Mira Loma neighborhood about 10:30 p.m. July 27.
Details about the circumstances that led to the shooting, however, were not released. Colorado Springs police said Friday that it appeared a dispute started somewhere else.
Their alleged killer, 24-year-old Michael Arangio, committed suicide with a gunshot to his head rather than surrender to SWAT officers outside his Colorado Springs apartment Saturday.
An autopsy showed Howse and Wayne Fix were shot several times, and Aaron Fix was shot once.
Services for all three were held Wednesday.
Arangio was wanted on a warrant alleging first-degree murder, a charge that implies premeditation. The Denver Post
