Neighbors at the Arista Flats apartments in Broomfield, Colorado, reported hearing violent noises, yelling and screaming from a second-floor unit on the morning of September 12, 2024. Police responding to the disturbance encountered an active shooter situation as a man inside the apartment fired at surrounding units and into the parking lot. Inside the unit, 34-year-old Gregory Ryan Miles held 32-year-old Aisha Yvonne Quest hostage and negotiators made contact with him during a standoff that lasted for hours.

Miles at one point told negotiators they needed to help the injured Quest; his mother told officers he wanted police to shoot him and that Quest had already been shot. Shortly before 10 a.m., SWAT officers breached the apartment and an exchange of gunfire followed; Miles was shot and taken into custody. Officers found Quest with a gunshot wound to her head; she was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Miles has been charged with first-degree murder in Quest’s death and faces multiple additional counts, and court records show prior domestic violence-related protection orders involving him. Does anyone have information about Aisha Quest, her relationship with Miles, or the events that morning?
