A fatal shooting on December 20, 2023, ended the life of 53-year-old Randall Moon at a residence on Rancho Durango Road in the High Flume Canyon area south of Durango, Colorado. Deputies found Moon inside the home; two other people were present when the shooting was reported. The death is described as a shooting.

Investigators focused on 34-year-old Justin Brown, described as having a tumultuous relationship with Moon and a history of alleged thefts from him. Deputies contacted the shooter shortly after the incident but did not make an immediate arrest for the homicide. Two days later Brown was reported to be in possession of Moon’s 2021 Ford F-350 and was arrested on suspicion of motor vehicle theft. He admitted to having several of Moon’s firearms but initially would not say where they were; the guns were later recovered in a hotel room where Brown and his girlfriend were staying. Evidence from the scene was sent to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation for testing and no homicide charges had been filed as the investigation continued.

Did anyone in the Durango area see the truck or have information about Moon’s movements or possessions around December 20?
