Senior Airman Joshua Aragon, 23, was killed in an accidental shooting during an off‑duty gathering in Cheyenne in the early morning of August 16, 2025. Aragon, a security forces specialist assigned to the 790th Missile Security Forces Squadron at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, had been at the Sundance Apartments on Walterscheid Boulevard with several friends when the fatal shot struck him in the torso as he sat on a couch.

Police say Airman 1st Class Jadan Orr, 20, also assigned to a missile security unit at F.E. Warren, went into a bedroom with two others, picked up an AK‑47 style rifle, charged it and fired a single round that traveled through the bedroom wall into the living room. Friends attempted to carry Aragon to a vehicle and someone called 911; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite life‑saving efforts. Orr was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter. Local law enforcement is investigating with cooperation from the 90th Missile Wing.

Does anyone who attended that gathering or knew Joshua or the people involved have information that could help clarify what happened that night?
