Angel Santibanez was 29 when he was shot and killed in a motel room at the Trails End Motel in Lakewood on Monday, January 24, 2022. He was found with gunshot wounds shortly before noon, transported to a nearby hospital, and later pronounced dead. Family remembered him as a father, son, and brother who loved making music and art and who brought laughter to those around him.

The Lakewood Police Department investigated the shooting and identified two suspects. Overnight the following Wednesday, police arrested 24-year-old Maliq Alston Williamson on suspicion of first-degree murder and 35-year-old Antonio Antiwon Johnson on suspicion of being an accessory to first-degree murder; both were booked into the Jefferson County Detention Center. The family continues to seek closure as the legal process moves forward.
