Montaries Jennings, 19, was killed in a shooting in Colorado Springs in the early hours of May 28, 2022. Officers found him in the 3800 block of East Pikes Peak Avenue at about 1:15 a.m. with at least one gunshot wound; he was transported to a hospital and later died. Three adult women sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds in the same incident.

Jennings was described as an unintended victim who had been at a different nearby location where another shooting had occurred shortly before. He called his mother to say he was safe, then drove to the Pikes Peak Avenue location where the fatal shots were fired. The El Paso County Coroner confirmed his identity, and the death was recorded as the city’s 22nd homicide that year.

The Homicide/Assault Unit is investigating and no arrests have been announced. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Colorado Springs Police Department or Crime Stoppers. Did anyone in the area that night see activity around East Pikes Peak Avenue or the earlier shooting location?
