On the evening of February 1, 2022, 26-year-old Lizet Salinas-Mijangos and her eight-month-old son, George, were found dead of gunshot wounds in their home on Heather Glen Drive in Colorado Springs. Police responded to a 911 call around 6:55 p.m.; the caller was Lizet’s 29-year-old husband and father of the children, David Corey Weingarten, who told the dispatcher he had killed them and later told officers, I shot them.

Detectives say Weingarten described hearing things, feeling unwell, and having troubling thoughts that day. He said he retrieved a .45-caliber handgun from his vehicle and decided to shoot the victims, believing it would be quick. A 20-month-old daughter was in the home and was physically unharmed; she was placed with family members. Weingarten was taken into custody and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

If anyone knew Lizet or the family or has information about what happened that evening, please share what you know.
