In the early morning hours of August 19, 2022, a shooting in the parking lot of the New Havana Grill in Colorado Springs left 37-year-old Glenn Fruster dead. Police were called at about 2:04 a.m. to the 2100 block of Academy Place and found an adult male with a gunshot wound. Fruster was taken to a hospital and later died; the El Paso County Coroner’s Office completed an autopsy and the death is being investigated as a homicide.

Within days the investigation identified a suspect. On August 22, 2022, 41-year-old Carnel Davis of Colorado Springs was taken into custody and charged with one count of Murder in the First Degree and held at the El Paso County Jail. Court records show Davis was a convicted felon and that in August 2021 he had pleaded guilty to an incident at the same location involving wielding a gun and threatening to shoot the place up.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about Fruster’s last hours at the New Havana Grill, please come forward.
