In the early hours of May 23, 2024, Colorado Springs police responded to a shooting on South Nevada Avenue near the I-25 southbound off‑ramp. Officers found a man with at least one gunshot wound; he was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. The El Paso County Coroner identified him the next day as 45‑year‑old Darryl Edward Scurry Jr. His death was investigated as a homicide and was recorded as the city’s 20th homicide of 2024, a rise from the same point the previous year.

Detectives sought witnesses and information through the summer and into the fall as the investigation continued. No motive or full sequence of events for the May shooting has been publicly established. If anyone saw activity on South Nevada Avenue that morning or has information about Darryl Scurry’s death, please come forward to investigators.
