William Alexander Bacorn, 18, of Colorado Springs, died in a gunbattle with law enforcement on July 22, 2018. Earlier that day authorities say Bacorn was a suspect in the shooting death of 46-year-old Gustavo Del Sol Sanchez during a robbery at a marijuana grow in El Paso County; another man was critically injured and drove himself to a hospital.

After the initial shooting, law enforcement located Bacorn at a residence east of Colorado Springs. A SWAT team moved in and exchanged gunfire with him; Bacorn, who was armed with a shotgun, was killed in the shootout. An El Paso County deputy was injured by shrapnel and treated at a local hospital. Two other men, aged 20 and 26, were arrested in the Sanchez homicide and charged with murder and burglary.

In December 2018 the district attorney’s office concluded the deputy was justified in fatally shooting Bacorn, finding Bacorn had pointed a shotgun at the deputy. If anyone knew Bacorn, Sanchez, or those arrested, or has information about the July 22 incidents, please share what is known.
