(PUEBLO, Colo.) — A 15-year-old boy and 24-year-old woman have been arrested in connection to the drive-by shooting of 19-year-old Michael Suazo in April. According to the Pueblo Police Department (PPD), officers originally responded on April 6 to the area of Highway 50 and Hudson Avenue on a report of a shooting. When they arrived, officers found Suazo suffering from apparent gunshot wounds in a car near Hwy 50. He was pronounced dead on scene, and two others in the car were evaluated for minor injuries, PPD said. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: 19-year-old identified in fatal Pueblo drive-by shooting PPD said the shooting was believed to have occurred in the intersection of N. Hudson Avenue and Hwy 50, with many witnesses present at the time. A manhunt was launched following the shooting, with officers looking for a red 2015 Ford Escape. PPD said investigators developed enough evidence to issue arrest warrants for a 15-year-old suspect as well as 24-year-old Caitlyn Gonzales. Shortly before 5 p.m. on May 20, both suspects were located by the Colorado Violent Offender Task Force. When officers tried to pull them over, PPD said they fled north on I-25 toward the City of Fountain. The Fountain Police Department was able to disable the car, and both suspects were taken into custody and transported back to Pueblo. The teen was taken to Pueblo Youth Corrections, where he was booked on warrants for first-degree murder after deliberation and violating juvenile parole. Gonzales was booked into the Pueblo County Detention Center on felony charges of accessory to a crime and tampering with physical evidence, as well as a misdemeanor for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
