A January morning in the Memorial Park area of Colorado Springs ended in violence when gunfire in the 800 block of South Union Boulevard left three men dead. Responding officers arrived about 8:15 a.m. on January 25, 2025, and found 20-year-old Manuel Alberto Villafan among the deceased, along with 21-year-old Raymond Padilla and 33-year-old Nicholas Medina.

Manuel, known as Manny, was a Southern Colorado resident and a graduate of The Goal Academy. He worked in a warehouse for Amazon and is survived by his girlfriend Abby Coca, his parents, siblings, and a large extended family. The triple homicide was reported as the city’s fourth, fifth, and sixth killings of 2025 and alarmed neighbors near the scene.

The Colorado Springs Police Department says all suspects have been identified and are accounted for, but authorities have not released names or charges while the investigation continues. If anyone knew Manny or has information about the shooting, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
