Nicholas Alan Anderson, 31, was fatally shot after an altercation at the Water Works Car Wash on South Nevada Avenue in Colorado Springs on October 7, 2019. A confrontation with 56-year-old John Stokes escalated into a physical struggle inside Stokes’ SUV, during which a gunshot was fired. As Anderson exited the vehicle, Stokes reportedly shot him again, then stood over him and fired several more times. Anderson’s body was found in an alley behind the car wash.

Stokes remained at the scene for nearly ten minutes asking bystanders if they had witnessed the shooting before leaving. He later collided with an unmarked police car, causing it to roll onto its side, then returned toward the scene and surrendered. Stokes was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. During a police interview he reportedly said Anderson had crossed the line and paid the price, calling himself the jury. Anderson was a husband, father of four with another child on the way, and a tattoo artist remembered as kind and generous.

Did anyone see the confrontation at the car wash or the moments immediately afterward who can add detail to what happened inside the SUV?
