Karol Ximena Bedoya, 44, was killed at her home in Denver’s Montbello neighborhood on the evening of February 24, 2023. She was watching television on the living room couch with her two-year-old grandson beside her when her boyfriend of ten years, Clemente Flores-Hernandez, burst into the residence and fired a gun at close range, shooting Bedoya multiple times. She died at the scene.

The gunfire brought Bedoya’s adult son upstairs from the basement, where he encountered Flores-Hernandez still armed. A physical struggle followed; Flores-Hernandez assaulted and strangled the son until he nearly lost consciousness, then fled the house after taking the two-year-old. A high-speed police pursuit on Interstate 70 ended near Strasburg about 30 miles east of Denver, and the child was recovered physically unharmed.

Family members said Bedoya had recently told them she was unhappy in the relationship and wanted Flores-Hernandez to leave. She was described as a dedicated soccer mom who did everything for her children. Does anyone have information about Karol’s life in Montbello or the events that night that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
