On the night of Friday, November 28, 2025, deputies from the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a shooting in the 400 block of Twin Pines in Rockvale, Colorado. A 31-year-old man was found with fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Fremont County Coroner, Randy Keller, formally identified the victim as Nicholas Baxter.

Early public reports and automated aggregations mistakenly linked the name Randy Keller to the victim; that appears to be a misattribution caused by the coroner’s prominent role in initial releases rather than a different victim name. As of December 2025, no arrests have been announced and no specific suspect has been publicly named. Investigators say there is no indication of an ongoing threat to the broader community and detectives continue to follow leads to determine a motive.

If anyone has information about Nicholas Baxter, his movements that night, or the 400 block of Twin Pines on November 28, please contact the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office.
