Lisa West, 34, was shot and killed in her Colorado Springs apartment on May 13, 2025. The incident began with a 911 call from a number associated with her boyfriend, 36-year-old Kevin Wells, reporting an attempted break-in at the Mountain Shadows Apartments and saying West was inside. Officers forced entry and found West with a gunshot wound to the head.

Two additional calls to dispatch changed the course of the investigation: Wells’s father told police his son had confessed to the killing, and Wells’s boss said Wells had sent a text admitting to the shooting. In a call with his father Wells reportedly said he had messed up, that his life was over, and that an argument that morning ended when he shot West after she refused to leave. Authorities located Wells by pinging his phone and took him into custody on the south side of Pueblo; he was booked into the El Paso County Jail and made a first court appearance on May 21, 2025.

West, also known as Lisa Seiling-West, was born November 26, 1990, in Massachusetts and is survived by a daughter and other family. A memorial service was held in Manchester, Tennessee. Does anyone have information about West’s last known movements or witnessed the disturbance at Mountain Shadows Apartments that morning?
