On the morning of Friday, September 18, 2020, Steven Scott Hargis, 27, was shot and killed while seated in his car in the Walmart parking lot at 440 Wadsworth Blvd in Lakewood, Colorado. Witnesses reported seeing a man fire multiple rounds at Hargis before fleeing. Police responded just before 10:30 a.m.

The suspect was identified as 46-year-old Matthew Lyvon Paul of Denver. After the shooting he crossed Wadsworth Boulevard, tried to carjack people at a nearby Grease Monkey, and when that failed ran into the residential area near the 7700 block of West 4th Avenue. There Paul reportedly fired at homes, vehicles, and responding officers. He was shot by police, taken to a local hospital, and pronounced dead.

Investigators noted Paul had an extensive criminal history with 38 arrests since 1992 and had been involved in a vehicle crash about a month earlier that prompted an arrest warrant process; alcohol was suspected in that earlier crash. The motive for Hargis’s killing remains under investigation.

Did anyone see Steven that morning or have information about what led up to the shooting?
