On the evening of Wednesday, July 13, 2022, a confrontation in the parking lot of the Incline Apartments on Sinton Road in Colorado Springs ended with two men dead. Officers found 37-year-old Russell Morgan Basham deceased at the scene; 46-year-old Antonio Bonner was transported to a hospital after suffering gunshot wounds and later died. The El Paso County Coroner’s Office ruled both deaths homicides.

Colorado Springs Police Department investigators determined Basham and Bonner had a verbal argument that escalated to both men drawing firearms and shooting each other. The case was handled by the CSPD Violent Crimes Homicide/Assault Unit; authorities said there were no outstanding suspects and believed there was no ongoing danger to the community. No arrests were made.

Basham was a United States Army veteran who served 13 years in psychological operations and is survived by his wife and daughter. Did anyone in the area witness the argument or the moments just before the shooting?
