A triple homicide in Colorado Springs left three men dead in the early morning hours of January 25, 2025, when gunfire erupted in a parking lot near Memorial Park on South Union Boulevard, just south of Prospect Lake. Among the victims was 33-year-old Nicholas Dean Medina; the other victims were 20-year-old Manuel Villafan and 21-year-old Raymond Padilla. The El Paso County Coroner’s Office later ruled the deaths a triple homicide.

The killings were the fourth, fifth and sixth homicides reported in the city for 2025, a notable rise from the same time the previous year. Investigators with the Colorado Springs Police Department have said they identified and accounted for all individuals believed to be connected to the shootings, but names and a motive have not been released and the investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the department or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers.
