The shooting happened at Parliament Apartments, 4363 South Quebec St., just before 2 a.m. as officers were responding to a 911 call about a possible carjacking, Chief Ron Thomas said in a briefing.

Police officers saw a man matching witness descriptions and challenged him, Thomas said. He responded by firing once at officers, and one officer fired multiple shots in return, hitting the suspect.

Officers started life-saving measures after the suspect went down, and the person was taken to a hospital, Thomas said.

UPDATE: Briefing regarding officer-involved shooting at 4363 S. Quebec St.

— Denver Police Dept. (@DenverPolice)

Denver’s homicide unit, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the State Patrol are investigating the shooting.

The man’s name will be released by the medical examiner’s office.

Sixth Judicial District Attorney Sean Murray is one of just a few prosecutors across the country who have pursued criminal charges against federal agents for their actions during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

On Tuesday, he filed misdemeanor assault and petty offense criminal mischief charges against U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer Nicholas Rice.

Murray told The Denver Post on Thursday that he did not consider that broader political landscape when he filed the case.

“Affirmatively no,” he said. “I tried to set that aside. I don’t think it is relevant to that decision-making process.”

He was aware of the political implications, he added, and he did consider federal statutes and federal use-of-force guidelines as he considered the case. Politics, though, didn’t factor into the decision-making, he said.

“At the end of the day, it shouldn’t matter, as long as there is an analysis about supremacy clause immunity,” he said, referencing the broad legal protections federal agents have when acting in the course of their official duties.

“It is a slightly different posture, procedurally, than a typical case when someone can’t claim that,” he said. “So there is an added layer of analysis to the charging decision in that regard. But I think it¶¶Ňőap incumbent upon state and local prosecutors to enforce the criminal code.”

Murray emphasized that all defendants are considered innocent unless and until proven guilty, and declined to discuss the specifics of the case against Rice.

The began investigating the case in October at the request of Durango police Chief Brice Current in the wake of a widely-circulated video that showed a masked federal officer snatch protester Franci Stagi’s phone, drag her across a street and throw her to the ground during an at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Durango.

Stagi, a retired hypnotherapist, said she reached for the officer’s shoulder to get his attention after she lost her phone. She said he put her in a chokehold and threw her down an embankment next to the street. She said she still experiences pain in her arm while doing everyday activities, like putting on her jacket.

“It did open my eyes to how quickly I can be under someone else’s control, and it¶¶Ňőap frightening,” said Stagi, whose legal name is Anne Francesca Stagi.

The Justice Department has taken a hard line against state efforts to arrest or prosecute federal agents, citing the broad legal protections. Late last year, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said arrests of federal officers performing their duties would be “illegal and futile,” citing the Constitution’s supremacy clause and federal law.

Legal experts say those protections are significant but not absolute and that the supremacy clause does not provide blanket immunity.

In a statement on the Colorado charges, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said states do not have the authority to investigate such cases.

“Federal officers acting in the course of their duties can only be investigated by other Federal agencies,” the statement read.

The department said it was still investigating what happened in the incident.

Murray said Thursday he expects Rice’s case to move to federal court for the debate on federal immunity. He added he considered that potential defense as he decided whether to bring charges.

Stagi said Wednesday she was disappointed Rice was charged with less serious crimes. The assault charge, a misdemeanor, carries a maximum sentence of just under a year in jail. But she hopes the prosecution sends a message that immigration officers can’t tackle people indiscriminately and use excessive force.

Across the country, at least two other federal agents have been charged with crimes amid the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement effort.

Earlier this month, a federal immigration agent was charged with two counts of second-degree assault by a county prosecutor in Minnesota amid investigations into the actions of several officers during the immigration crackdown in the Minneapolis area.

ICE officer Gregory Donnell Morgan Jr. is accused of pointing his gun at occupants of a car after pulling alongside them on a Minneapolis-area highway. Investigators say Morgan said he feared for his safety after the vehicle swerved in front of him.

Outside Chicago, an off-duty ICE agent has been charged with misdemeanor battery for throwing to the ground a 68-year-old protester who was filming him at a gas station in December. The Homeland Security Department says the agent acted in self-defense.

The Associated Press contributed to this report. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer Nicholas Rice, 47, is facing a misdemeanor and petty offense charge after he “was involved in an immigration enforcement activity in Durango,” the Sixth Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a news release Tuesday.

The DA’s office did not provide further details about the case, only referring to the “incident at (the) ICE facility in Durango” on Oct. 28 that was investigated by the .

CBI officials began investigating after a widely shared video showed a masked federal officer snatched a woman’s phone, then grabbed her and threw her to the ground when she tried to take it back during a protest outside the ICE facility in southern Colorado.

Protesters gathered outside the facility after immigration agents arrested a Durango father and his two children while he was taking them to school the morning of Oct. 27. An ICE official later testified that the agents pulled over the wrong person but decided to arrest the man, Fernando Jaramillo-Solano, and his 12- and 15-year-old children anyway.

Jaramillo-Solano, who is Colombian, later requested voluntary departure from the U.S. because of “mental, physical and emotional trauma” he and his children experienced while detained in Texas, advocates said in November.

The family, including the children’s mother, who was not detained, was living in Durango with a pending asylum case at the time of the arrest.

Customs and Border Protection officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday night. Rice could not be reached for comment about the case.

The case against Rice was filed less than a week after with assault for allegedly pointing his gun at people in a car on a Minneapolis-area highway.

Both cases raise questions about whether they could intensify clashes between the states and President Donald Trump’s administration over immigration enforcement. Todd Blanche, the acting attorney general, has warned that the Justice Department could investigate and prosecute state or local officials who arrest federal agents for actions performed during their official duties.

Rice was issued a court summons for the charges on Tuesday and is set to appear in court for an advisement hearing on May 27, court records show.

The man, 58-year-old Joseph Frank Martinez, was shot after police officers responded to a 911 call about a man outside with a gun in the 1000 block of South Quitman Street on April 7.

Police officials initially said Martinez was in an alley when the shooting happened but on Wednesday clarified he was in the backyard of a home.

Although a family member had told police they thought Martinez’s weapon might not be real or functional, officers were still dealing with a man carrying and pointing what looked like a rifle, Cmdr. Matt Clark said in a

Officers were at the scene with 3 minutes of the 911 call and spent more than an hour trying to talk with Martinez, Clark said.

“The subject responded to the officers intermittently but refused to answer questions, did not comply with directions and generally responded with profanity,” he said.

At one point, a family member came out of the house and tried to wrestle the rifle away from Martinez but couldn’t get control of it, Clark said.

A shows Martinez pacing around the yard and intermittently pointing the rifle before walking toward the southeast corner of the yard, where Clark said a Denver SWAT officer was positioned on the other side of the fence.

The officer believed Martinez was going to shoot him and fired on him five times, Clark said. A SWAT team then approached, secured the rifle, took Martinez out of the yard and started CPR. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

A shows police trying to convince the man to surrender until moments before he was shot. The officer’s camera was facing a fence, but the officer can be heard using his radio to inform others Martinez was coming toward him and then telling Martinez to drop the weapon.

Investigators later determined the weapon was a pump-style BB rifle with a metal barrel, Clark said.

The shooting is being investigated by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, the State Patrol, the Denver district attorney’s office and the police department’s homicide unit.

A 72-year-old man reported missing in early April after last being seen in Denver on Dec. 23 has been found safe, according to the police department.

The man was and found safe later that month, according to a .

The 12-year-old girl and 15-year-old boy were last spotted at about 1 p.m. Monday, March 23, in the 3200 block of North Dahlia Street, according to a .

The girl was reported to have been found safe on Friday, April 24. The boy was reported to have been found safe on Monday, April 27.

Authorities said John Cizek, 71, of Newark, California, was the victim of a homicide committed in June 2016. The suspect in the case, David Little, died by suicide that year while in custody at the Jefferson County jail.

Cizek was last seen on June 12, 2016, entering his RV outside a store in Alamosa. Investigators believed Little killed Cizek over the vehicle, but for years, they couldn’t find his body.

Then, in May 2024, a fisherman found skeletal remains in a frozen grave near a river at the Deer Creek Campground in Bailey. The skull had an apparent gunshot wound consistent with an execution-style killing, investigators said.

Quickly, the Park County coroner turned to forensic genetic genealogy services. Those results showed Czechoslovakian ancestry, consistent with Cizek’s family history. Experts built an entire family tree, dating back to the 1700s.

On Tuesday, authorities received final confirmation of a match between a sample of one of Cizek’s shirts and DNA gathered from the skeletal remains.

“While we can’t bring Mr. Cizek back, we can provide his family the closure they deserve,” said Tammi Krebs, a special agent with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, at a Friday morning news conference.
