Thomas Gwardyak was 18 when he was fatally shot in Fremont County, Colorado, on July 29, 2017. The shooting was witnessed by 21-year-old Kayla Mattice, who later told investigators she saw Tyler Delaney shoot Gwardyak.

Investigators tracked Delaney and in August 2017 he led officers on a high-speed pursuit before being taken into custody. Delaney was charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder of a police officer; he pleaded not guilty and was held at the Fremont County Jail without bond.

Mattice, originally charged as an accessory to murder, accepted a plea deal in March 2018 and pleaded guilty to accessory to a crime and possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute in exchange for testifying in Delaney’s trial. She faced a possible six to eight year sentence and was held at the Pueblo County Jail on a $25,000 cash-only bond, with her sentencing set for April 30, 2018 and Delaney’s trial scheduled to begin May 1, 2018.
