On the morning of June 29, 2019, 22-year-old Diego Cruz-Aceves was critically wounded during a confrontation on the running track at Jack Swigert Aerospace Academy in Colorado Springs. The dispute between two groups escalated to gunfire just before 5 a.m. Police found another victim, 18-year-old Kevin Santana-Villa, dead on the track field. Cruz-Aceves was located seriously injured in the 4000 block of East Bijou Street and was taken to a hospital, where he later died from his wounds.

The Colorado Springs Police Department opened a homicide investigation and identified a suspect. On July 23, 2019, an arrest warrant was issued and a 17-year-old male was taken into custody on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of Cruz-Aceves and Santana-Villa; his name was not released because of his age. Does anyone have information about the events that morning or knew Diego and can help piece together what happened?
