A fatal shooting in the early hours of January 25, 2025, left three men dead in a Colorado Springs apartment-complex parking lot on the 800 block of South Union Boulevard near Memorial Park. Raymond Lee Padilla, 21, was one of the victims; the El Paso County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide. The other two victims were Manuel Alberto Villafan, 20, and Nicholas Dean Medina, 33.

The Colorado Springs Police Department responded to a shots-fired call and opened an intensive investigation. Police say all individuals believed to be involved have been identified and are accounted for, but no names or arrests have been publicly announced and officials have not released a motive or detailed circumstances of the shooting. The city’s homicide count rose to at least six with these deaths.

Anyone who has information about what happened in that parking lot on January 25 is asked to contact investigators.
