In the early morning hours of March 22, 2022, 24-year-old Tryvone Brooks of Colorado Springs was found inside a residence in the 1400 block of East Columbia Street, deceased from multiple gunshot wounds. The El Paso County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.

Three days later detectives with the Colorado Springs Police Department’s Homicide/Assault Unit identified and arrested 19-year-old Raquel Chamberlain, who was booked into the El Paso County jail on a first-degree murder charge. An arrest affidavit described a volatile relationship: Brooks was the father of Chamberlain’s child, the two had frequently argued, and two days before the shooting Brooks allegedly assaulted Chamberlain, her mother and a friend. Chamberlain had reportedly filed for a protective order and said Brooks had threatened her and her family. She later admitted to investigators that she shot Brooks after an argument at his home.

Are there witnesses or additional details anyone in the area can share about the days leading up to March 22, 2022?
