Tyray Ikener, 32, was found mortally wounded inside his car in the parking lot of the King Soopers gas station off Stetson Hills Boulevard in northeast Colorado Springs about 4:40 p.m. on Monday, January 20, 2025. The coroner identified him and ruled the death a homicide. Detectives cordoned the scene, canvassed nearby businesses and reviewed surveillance footage as the city logged its third homicide of the year.

Family members spoke publicly in the days after his death, describing the grief left behind and noting Ikener’s four daughters. Investigators later announced that 34-year-old Dustin Boston had been arrested and booked on a charge of first-degree murder; detectives said the investigation remained active and asked for more witnesses or tips. The obituary and memorial pages confirm his age, name, and the January afternoon and location of his death.

If anyone was at the King Soopers lot that afternoon or has surveillance footage that hasn’t been shared, please come forward with information.
