Samantha Kay Morgan was 36 and a mother of three when she was found fatally shot in a parking lot in the northeastern part of Colorado Springs on the evening of May 29, 2020. The shooting was reported initially with no immediate arrests, and the case left her family and community seeking answers.

Investigators later developed a theory that the killing stemmed from a drug deal gone bad and identified a primary suspect, Billy Joe Torrez, Jr. The case moved forward through investigation and prosecution, with evidence presented at trial that led to a guilty verdict holding Torrez responsible for Samantha’s murder.

If anyone knew Samantha, witnessed the incident that night, or has information that was not previously shared with investigators, please come forward.
