Patti Frances Magby was 73 and described as a mother, grandmother and retired educator when she was found shot outside a residence in the 4700 block of Bergemann Road in Pueblo County, Colorado, on the evening of October 21, 2022. Deputies responding to a report of possible shots fired discovered Magby with gunshot wounds; medical personnel continued life-saving efforts but she was pronounced dead at the scene. The death was ruled a homicide.

Investigators learned Magby, who lived nearby, had gone that night to the home of 35-year-old Max E. Struck for reasons that remain unknown. Authorities say Struck fired a weapon, and the unarmed Magby was killed. After an investigation by the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Special Investigations Unit, an arrest warrant was issued for Struck; he was arrested and booked into the Pueblo County Jail on a charge of first-degree murder in connection with Magby’s death.
