On the evening of October 18, 2019, 32-year-old Brittany Guern was found with an apparent gunshot wound inside a room at the Blue Sky Motel on West Colfax Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado. She was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Responding officers reported witnesses who saw several people fleeing the motel after the shooting, and one man was seen holding a gun.

Investigators identified 32-year-old Asha Thompson, who used the nickname Ace, as a person of interest and later arrested him at the Big Bunny Motel across the street. Thompson was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated intimidation of a witness or victim, menacing, and possession of a weapon by a previous offender, and held without bond at the Jefferson County jail. A court later found the initial cellphone search warrant overly broad, a development that could affect evidence from the device.

If anyone has information about what happened at the Blue Sky Motel that night, please share details with investigators.
