4 arrested in connection with July 10 shootout between prison staffers, alleged carjackers
Pueblo police recently arrested four men in connection with a July 10 shootout between off-duty Colorado prison workers and alleged carjacking suspects, police announced in an Aug. 4 news release.
Quincy Stephens, 20, Damion Trujillo, 20, Marcus Pechek, 19, and Juaquin Trujillo, 19, were arrested on charges of attempted second-degree homicide and aggravated robbery. A 16-year-old male suspect remains at large, according to the release.
Police were initially called to investigate after three people were injured when gunfire was exchanged between a group of off-duty Colorado corrections workers and alleged carjacking suspects at the Sgt. Blake A. Harris Skateboard Park in City Park.
Pueblo police were made aware of the incident at approximately 2:40 a.m. that day after three people — two of the alleged carjacking suspects and one of the corrections workers — showed up at two local hospitals with gunshot injuries, according to Pueblo Police Department Community Engagement Manager Bianca Hicks.
The five Colorado Department of Corrections workers, employees of the Centennial Correctional Facility in Fremont County, were skating, playing football, and hanging out at the park after its curfew when a group of five suspects allegedly tried to carjack one of the workers' vehicles.
Shots were then fired by at least one CDOC officer and one suspect, Hicks said, and police later recovered 70 handgun shell casings at the scene.
Two of the alleged carjacking suspects were injured by gunfire, as was one of the CDOC workers.
Hicks told the Chieftain that the victims transported one of the injured suspects to a local hospital for treatment after the suspect was left behind by the rest of their party when they fled the scene.
Stephens and Damion Trujillo remained in custody at the Pueblo County jail as of Aug. 4, while Pechek was released on bond after spending just under six days in custody, police said in the release. Juaquin Trujillo was also released on bond after spending three days in custody.
Stephens will make his first court appearance on Aug. 21, Pechek is scheduled for a plea hearing on Aug. 14, Damion Trujillo is scheduled for a bond hearing on Aug. 14, and Juaquin Trujillo is scheduled for a setting on the same day.
All four cases are set in the court of Judge William Alexander.
