Colorado Springs police have found a man who shot his cousin five times in the head to avoid repaying a $500 debt, according to court documents.
The cousin apparently survived and police say Luis Pineda-Lara, 27, who is accused in the shooting, was found Tuesday by Mexican immigration authorities and turned over to U.S. customs officials.
According to court documents, the shooting happened April 9 when police were called to the Pinions apartment complex, 3603 Airport Road, about 4 a.m. to check on a man “covered in blood” wandering around outside. They found Selvin Miranda with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.
Hospital staff later said Miranda was shot five times, with two bullets penetrating his skull and the three others grazing his head.
