In October 1995, Deputy Brent Andrew Holloway, 26, was shot and killed while guarding the scene of a large, suspicious fire in Teller County, Colorado. Holloway had become a full-time deputy in 1994 after moving to the area with his high school sweetheart, Kelly. He was discovered in his patrol car after failing to respond to a routine radio check-in around 6 a.m.; a fellow officer found him with a fatal shotgun wound to the head.

Investigators connected the crime to 28-year-old Adam Cooper, who had prior burglary convictions. Authorities say a stolen vehicle linked to Cooper was found near the fire scene and that Cooper had set the blaze to draw law enforcement there. Cooper reportedly waited until a lone officer was guarding the scene, then ambushed Holloway, took his service weapon, and fled. Two days later Cooper was found in a nearby cabin; before officers could take him into custody he used Holloway’s pistol and died. He left a 14-page note outlining his motives and remorse.

Holloway is survived by his wife, his mother, and three siblings. Does anyone have memories of Holloway or information about the fire and its aftermath that could add detail to this case?
