10 years later: Deadly shooting of Windsor cyclist John Jacoby still not solved
DENVER (KDVR) — After 10 years with still no answers. the FBI is searching for any information that could lead to solving the 2015 deadly shooting of a Windsor cyclist.
On May 18, 2015, John Jacoby, a 47-year-old park caretaker for the city of Windsor and employee at King Soopers, was riding his bicycle on Weld County Road 15 about two miles north of Windsor's Main Street when he was shot twice by an unknown person at around 10:15 a.m., according to the FBI. Jacoby died at the scene.

'He was a good kid. He didn't deserve this,' a close family friend said after his death. 'It's just something that shouldn't have happened because he never hurt a soul.'
Jacoby's death rocked the town of Windsor, as FOX31's reporting from the time showed it was the first homicide in the city in eight years.
'In a town that is very calm, something like this is unusual and certainly we're going to take every step we can to get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what happened,' a Windsor police lieutenant said back in 2015.
But 10 years later, no one has been arrested or charged.
Investigators do believe the shooting of Jacoby was connected to another shooting that happened less than a month prior on April 22, 2015, in Fort Collins. In that shooting, two rounds were fired at a woman driving around 11 p.m. at the intersection of Harmony Road and the southbound Interstate 25 on-ramp.

The woman survived after being shot in the neck, according to the FBI.
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest, prosecution and conviction of the person or people responsible for Jacoby's death.
Anyone with information about this case can contact the Northern Colorado Shooting Task Force at 970-498-5595 or at taskforce@larimer.org. Tipsters can also contact any local FBI office, the nearest American Embassy or Consulate, or through tips.fbi.gov.

Ukraine's surprise strike deep in Russia — an excellent way to push Putin to talk peace
Hand it to the Ukrainians: They're not only fighting heroically on, more than three years after Moscow launched its savage and utterly unprovoked war to destroy their nation, they're fighting with cheek and style. The latest, of course, is Sunday's surprise drone strikes on airbases deep inside Russia, targeting strategic warplanes that have been pummeling mostly-civilian targets in Ukraine. It counts as an intelligence coup, too: The drones were infiltrated to near their final targets over months, with Vladimir Putin's massive internal-surveillance agencies left utterly in the dark. Advertisement Then again, Vlad's secret police were caught clueless back when the Wagner Group launched its aborted coup two years back: Putin should be losing sleep over what else his minions might be missing. And any Russian patriots looking to save their country from his disastrous misrule can only be emboldened. Nor can Moscow complain that Kyiv launched these strikes on the eve of a fresh set of peace talks: Putin is the one who's refusing any kind of ceasefire, and he's had his forces in overdrive ever since President Donald Trump launched his diplomatic drive to stop the slaughter. Advertisement Kyiv was entirely right not to let Washington know these strikes were coming, by the way: As the Israelis will tell you, the DC defense establishment has a recently-proven track record of broadcasting our friends' war plans against even mutual enemies like Iran. A single American loose lip could've alerted Moscow to the operation — turning it into from a Russian humiliation into a bitter loss for Ukraine. Adding to Kyiv's panache points here, the damaged planes — $7 billion worth, the Ukrainians estimate even as the Russians of course claim the whole thing failed — included many of the strategic bombers central to Moscow's ultimate 'doomsday' deterrent. Advertisement That is: Putin and his spokes-toads have spent the last three years pointedly hinting they'd go nuclear if the West helps Ukraine 'too much'; it's pure poetic justice if his refusal to make peace has now left Russia vulnerable to a nuclear first strike. It's more clear than ever that Putin won't make peace unless and until continued his warmaking threatens him. Ukraine's audacious attack had done just that; the Senate should double down on the message by passing the bipartisan secondary-sanctions bill ASAP. Make Putin fear for his own survival; it's all he truly cares about.

FBI and law enforcement respond to ‘terror attack' in Boulder, Colorado
BOULDER, Colo. — Several people were injured and some may have been set on fire at an outdoor mall in Boulder, Colorado, police said. Police said a man was taken into custody in the attack that the FBI immediately described as a 'targeted terror attack.' Boulder Police Chief Steve Redfearn told reporters Sunday evening that it was too early to discuss a motive but that witnesses were being interviewed. 'It would be irresponsible for me to speculate on motive this early on,' he said. The Boulder attack took place at a popular pedestrian mall known for attracting tourists and college students. On Sunday, demonstrators with a volunteer group called Run For Their Lives had gathered to call for the release of hostages who remain in Gaza. The group has multiple chapters across the world that regularly meet to walk to advocate for hostage releases. Sunday's attack also occurred as law enforcement authorities in the U.S. grapple with a spike in antisemitic violence. And last week, a man was arrested on charges in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers and shouted 'Free Palestine' as he was being led away by police. Boulder police said there were 'several victims' in the attack. The injuries authorities found were consistent with reports of individuals being set on fire, Redfearn said, adding that injuries ranged from serious to minor. Multiple blocks of the pedestrian mall area were evacuated by police. The scene shortly after the attack was tense, as law enforcement agents with a police dog walked through the streets looking for threats and instructed the public to stay clear of the pedestrian mall. 'Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available,' FBI Director Kash Patel posted on social media. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement that he was 'closely monitoring' the situation, adding that 'hate-filled acts of any kind are unacceptable.'
