Manuel Zegarelli was 27 and living in Pueblo when he was fatally shot on a street corner in his hometown during April 2022. The killing occurred amid a wave of violent incidents on the city’s east side that spring, and his death increased community alarm as local leaders and residents grappled with multiple shootings over a short period.

The Pueblo Police Department initially had few leads and the case was briefly unsolved. In May 2022 authorities arrested a 21-year-old, Carlos Ulises Diaz, in connection with Zegarelli’s death and with a subsequent four-day crime spree that included three other killings in Pueblo and neighboring El Paso County. Investigators said the victims appeared to be known to Diaz rather than chosen at random; the motive for the killings remained unclear.

If anyone in Pueblo knew Manuel or has information about his activities that April, please share what you know with the local investigators.
