EPSO: Deputies, officers in home when explosion set off
(MONUMENT, Colo.) — The El Paso County Sheriff's Office (EPSO) reported that on Saturday, May 17, a suspect was arrested and charged with Attempted Homicide of a Peace Officer after he was believed to have deliberately caused an explosion in a home while deputies and police officers were inside. According to EPSO, around 5:20 p.m. on Saturday, the Monument Police Department responded to a reported family disturbance in the 40 block of Front Street, near 2nd Street and Mitchell Avenue, in Monument. The suspect, identified as 24-year-old Miguel Borja, had been involved in previous incidents and disturbing behavior, prompting a request for EPSO's assistance. EPSO reported that during the incident on Saturday, Borja allegedly tried to light another person on fire. Responding officers evacuated the home, but Borja barricaded himself inside. While trying to communicate with Borja, officers smelled a strong odor of gas inside the home. According to EPSO, an explosion, believed to have been intentionally caused by Borja, occurred as deputies and officers tried to enter part of the residence. Two officers and three deputies were inside the home when the explosion happened. All five were taken to the hospital and later released. Borja was taken into custody and to the hospital for treatment of burn-related injuries. According to EPSO, he was charged with one count of Attempted Assault, one count of Arson, three counts of Attempted Homicide, and five counts of Attempted Homicide of a Peace Officer. 'I am incredibly thankful members of law enforcement were not seriously injured during this incident,' said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal. 'Criminals like Borja do not belong in our communities, and I am grateful he is in the custody of my deputies. Thank you to our collaborating partners, at the local and federal levels, for assisting us in this investigation and ensuring justice for everyone harmed by this troubling act of violence.' EPSO detectives assumed responsibility for the investigation, along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the Colorado Springs Police Department Regional Explosives Unit, and the Metro Crime Lab. The cause of the explosion is being investigated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Miguel Borja went closest to scoring in first-half stoppage time, as the River Plate striker got into the box and nearly got round on-rushing Deportivo keeper Ignacio Arce. However, his shot from a tight angle hit the post. The second half was uneventful, with neither side showing much attacking intent, and River Plate registered the only shot on target despite dominating in possession.

Borja, Mastantuono on target in River Plate's 2-0 win over San Martin
SAN JUAN, Argentina, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Miguel Borja and Franco Mastantuono broke through a sturdy San Martin defence in the second half to secure a 2-0 win for River Plate in the Argentine Primera Division Apertura tournament on Saturday. A through ball from Pity Martinez found Colombian forward Borja in the box in the 56th minute. Borja shook off defender Alejandro Molina and an onrushing keeper Matias Borgogno with an athletic first touch to break the deadlock after a frustrating first half. The visitors doubled their lead 13 minutes later when Mastantuono found the bottom of the left corner off Gonzalo Montiel's pass, condemning a winless San Martin to their third straight loss in the competition. Unbeaten River Plate, who host Estudiantes next Saturday, moved to third in Group B with 15 points, a point above fourth-placed San Lorenzo who have a game in hand.

Borja earns River Plate 1-0 home victory over Lanus
BUENOS AIRES, Feb 16 (Reuters) - A second-half strike by Miguel Borja earned River Plate a 1-0 home win over Lanus in the Apertura tournament of the Argentine Primera Division on Sunday. Substitute Borja netted in the 77th minute after a deflection from the defence ricocheted off River's Maximiliano Meza and into the Colombian's path for his first goal this season. The 32-year-old Borja missed a golden chance to score a second goal seven minutes later, sending a penalty kick over the crossbar. Lanus pushed hard for a late equaliser, but goalkeeper Franco Armani produced a couple of key saves to secure victory for River, who moved into third place in Group B with 12 points.
