The 44-year-old is charged with multiple counts of murder for back-to-back fatal shootings in Colorado Springs last year.

Court documents say Galloway shot where the victim was living. He then used Anderson’s pickup truck to drive to the home of his ex-girlfriend, , who was shot in the head. Galloway was previously convicted of stalking Nam.
