Joshua Charles Herbert, 39, was killed late evening on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the Days Inn on North Elizabeth Street in Pueblo, Colorado. Police responded to a shots-fired call about 6:30 p.m. and found Herbert, who was pronounced dead at the scene; his death is being treated as a homicide and was reported as the city’s first of the year.

Authorities arrested 63-year-old James McKenna soon after the shooting and charged him with first-degree murder. Arrest papers record a disputed account of the moments before the fatal shot: McKenna told investigators he left his room armed after hearing an argument in the hallway, that Herbert advanced toward him, and that he fired a single shot to the chest. McKenna also told police he and Herbert had argued minutes earlier.

Does anyone have information about the dispute between Herbert and McKenna, or about activity in that Days Inn on the evening of February 7?
