Colin Roy Williams, 45, of Clifton, Colorado, was killed in the early hours of May 8, 2023, when a Ford F-250 went off Highway 50 near Sapinero, about 20 miles west of Gunnison. Williams and 33-year-old Estefan Coronado of Fruita were found in the truck’s front seats with multiple gunshot wounds to their torsos. Both appear to have been shot from behind.

A Gunnison County deputy stopped at the scene around 4:15 a.m. and encountered 27-year-old Zachary Baker of Grand Junction outside the vehicle. Baker told the deputy he had shot the two men and was taken into custody without resistance. Court documents say Baker alleged he fired from the back seat and claimed he feared for his safety; prosecutors say the victims were fatally shot in the back and have charged Baker with two counts of first-degree murder. A judge set bail at $500,000. The Gunnison County Sheriff’s Office, Colorado Bureau of Investigation, and Gunnison County Coroner’s Office are investigating.

Williams is described as a husband, father of three sons, and an artist remembered for generosity and dedication to family. Did anyone in the Gunnison or Highway 50 area see the truck or the men that night who hasn’t yet spoken to investigators?
