Leslie Howard Cole, 52, was shot and killed at his home in southwest Pueblo County on the evening of June 23, 2020. The shooting followed a heated argument between Cole and his 24-year-old stepson, Tyler Idell, that escalated into a physical confrontation.

Idell allegedly called 9-1-1 to report the shooting and was standing outside the residence in the 6400 block of Galbreth Road when Pueblo County deputies arrived around 8 p.m. He surrendered without resistance and was taken into custody. Deputies found Cole inside the home with a gunshot wound; he was transported to a local hospital but died of his injuries. Idell was booked into the Pueblo County Jail on a charge of second-degree murder.

What details about the argument or the events inside the house might help explain how the confrontation turned fatal, and can anyone with information about the household that night help investigators?
