A double homicide in Colorado Springs left two young men dead after a shooting early on November 28, 2020. Officers responded to a residence in the 11000 block of Hanging Valley Way at about 1:27 a.m. and found 22-year-old Francis J. McKinnis III and 18-year-old Wolfgang Massie deceased inside the home. Detectives from the Homicide/Assault Unit opened an investigation and the El Paso County Coroner’s Office completed autopsies on November 30, 2020; the official cause and manner were pending further inquiry.

Francis, known to friends and family as Tres, was born in Honolulu on August 1, 1998, and raised in several states as a military dependent. Family remembered his captivating personality, creativity, compassion and fierce loyalty. As of late 2020 the investigation remained active and police asked the public for any information that could identify or lead to the apprehension of suspect or suspects.

If anyone knew Francis, Wolfgang, or has information about that night in Hanging Valley Way, can you share what you know with investigators?
