Twenty-year-old Kenyatta Horne was shot and killed on October 7, 2018, in the 6400 block of Tranters Creek Way in the Lorson Ranch neighborhood of Colorado Springs. A 911 caller reported hearing multiple gunshots and finding a man on the sidewalk; first responders found Horne unconscious and not breathing and he died at the scene.

Investigators describe the killing as the result of a planned robbery over about $800 worth of cocaine. A group that included current or former military members arranged to meet Horne, and a gunfight broke out. Authorities determined that 21-year-old former Fort Carson soldier Tyler Lee Wheeler exchanged gunfire with Horne and that a bullet from Wheeler’s gun was fatal. Horne had drawn his own pistol but was immediately incapacitated by the wound.

Several arrests followed. Wheeler was charged with murder and, in November 2019, was convicted on multiple counts including murder. Twenty-year-old Wayne Sellers was convicted of felony murder and later received life without parole for his role in the robbery; that sentence was upheld on appeal. Beslim Torres-Valle was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, and Kyle Watts was arrested and later sentenced to 18 years for aggravated robbery tied to the shooting.
