GUILTY CO - Possible Serial Shooter Has Colorado Drivers on Edge *Arrest* #4

[cgon4872]

I don't know if this was ever answered definitively: were the murders of Jacoby and Connolle, and the shooting of Cori Romero linked to the same perpetrator, or does LE think a copycat was responsible for one (or more) of the crimes?

Notes from Thread 70 IN A and L's case (I also commented in threads 68 and 69)

This article says Tim Watkins was shot several times. He was shot with a rifle.
http://denver.cbslocal.com/2017/09/19/tim-watkins-bicyclist-shooting/

...a .22 though. Could easily take multiple shots depending where he shot him at.

None of the articles describe how close the shooter likely was to Tim Watkins. It's possible the killer shot him from a distance for the "sport" of it and then approached his wounded prey and shot him again. It's so evil to shoot an innocent bike rider that it's hard to conceptualize.

Indeeeed. Hence my signature. John Jacoby was randomly shot riding his bicycle right here in Colorado in May 2015, north of Denver, case known as Northern Colorado Shootings.

So, I was able to determine via SM record DN and family were in Denver on May 16 2017, and possibly went to a Denver shelter on May 18 2017.

Why Denver? Has a previous connection to Colorado been found yet, still reading, sorry if already posted.

Going back to look at something...

FTR
not stating a connection by any means. Just taking a look at NOCO, that's all. :wink: How can I not?

*******

Eta: Cheese and rice. That's what I thought. JJ was shot on May 18. Strange coincidence. Gotta be.

FTR .22 rifles have been considered endlessly in the NOCO threads. Cori Romero, who was shot in the neck while driving, was shot with a .22, and her shooting was also linked to JJ.

******
(Foxfire: "there's a reason for the seasons"...)

There's a friend/relative from Colorado.

No. Freaking. Way.

:scared:

(Hatfield. Where are you?)

IF DN is not only BG but also the NOCO shooter, it will be the craziest thing I think I've ever seen in my life. Hands down. As far as irony and coincidence go.

Hi,

JJ and CR were linked for sure.

In my signature there's a link to the NOCO Facebook Task Force page, that should give you the latest, marking spot to come back and answer your question more thoroughly when I get a chance re the copycat, basic answer, they haven't told us squat lol.

Omgggg just seeing this, thank you Kai!

"WELD COUNTY - A truck driver who initial reports indicated had died after he was run over by his own vehicle last month had actually been shot, the Weld County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.

Deputies first learned about the incident at around 3:20 p.m. on May 18. They received a call about a possible fatal traffic accident in the area of Weld County Road 136 and Weld County Road 77 west of Hereford."

Snip

"Combs had been shot and left on the side of the road. The gunshot is not believed to be self-inflicted."

May 18?

Menacing suspect possibly linked to 3 unsolved murders
http://www.9news.com/news/menacing-suspect-possibly-linked-to-3-unsolved-murders/479695003

"We believe that he was our suspect who was threatening hikers and bikers up in the Monument and Mount Herman Road areas," said Jacqueline Kirby, El Paso County Sheriff media relations manager.

Investigators said Nations wielded a hatchet scaring people on a trail in the same area and during the same timeframe that a cyclist Timothy Watkins was shot and killed."

Snip

"Nations is also a person of interest in unsolved murders near Indianapolis where he used to live. Two teenage girls, Abby Williams and Libby German ages 13 and 14, were killed while hiking on a trail in Delphi, Indiana in February. Police have not released how they were killed.

The NBC affiliate in Indianapolis confirms that investigators are in Colorado interviewing Nations about those murders. A sketch of the Indiana suspect shows similar features to Nations."

Note to check in on Foxy's POI, Nathaniel Sheeran, and see what's up with him lately.

 

[prima.facie]

I live in this county and was stuck in THIS traffic seeing first responders etc....Im not even sure what this case is, as I did not live here in 2005. Guess I need to go back and see how this is all relevant.
I had no idea what was going on...and never thought of following up as 25 can be a nightmare at any time of day/night.

3 killed in Fort Collins shooting near CSU identified, including*gunman
http://kdvr.com/2017/10/20/3-killed-in-fort-collins-shooting-near-csu-identified/

Awful news coming out of Fort Collins...

Where was this Zamora nutjob in 2015?

"A handgun and two rifles registered to Zamora were recovered at the scene."

How long were these 2 dating?

Kemp's uncle, Thomas Perez, said in an interview that Kemp and Zamora served in the military together in Afghanistan and worked for the same company in California.

"He said the two came to Fort Collins so Zamora could visit McNealy, who was his girlfriend."

 

[margarita25]

"Tristian Kemp, 26 of Destin, Florida, Savannah McNealy, 22 of Fort Collins, and Michael Zamora, 30 of Fort Collins were killed in the shooting just before 2 a.m. at the Sunstone apartment complex at 720 City Park Ave. just west of the college, the Laramier County Coroner's Office said Friday."
http://kdvr.com/2017/10/20/3-killed-in-fort-collins-shooting-near-csu-identified/

OMG this guy is from Fort Collins! Military, age 30, guns and rifles...wow this will be so amazing if by chance ballisics is matched to him!!

When did this guy go to California? When the shootings stopped? I'm optimistic here...

 

[margarita25]

"On McNealy's social media account Instagram, it looks like she and Zamora were a couple.

Public records show the two shared a common address in Fort Collins. McNealy posted a photo of the two in July and she wrote, "Happy birthday, roomie."

Air Force officials identified Zamora as a staff sergeant assigned to the Francis E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming. In another Instagram photo, the couple was at the base in September with Zamora in his uniform."

The plot thickens...Wyoming? I've always suspected a possible link to Wyoming. Need a timeline!!

(Paging perfectingpink to please help with social media!)

Thanks Katy for sending this to me weeks ago, finally posting, got sidetracked:

http://www.websleuths.com/forums/sh...random-shootings-in-3-mos-East-Feliciana-2017

LA - 4 random shootings in 3 mos, East Feliciana, 2017
"The victim was standing outside when he was struck by gunfire that came from a passing vehicle.*Witnesses reported seeing a white, four-door sedan.

Authorities in East Feliciana Parish say they are stopping short of saying they are searching for a "serial killer" after the seemingly random shootings of four men within a 25-mile area.

Authorities say they will remain “open minded” about whether the shootings are indeed related, and at this point, remain uncertain as to whether or not they are connected.

The FBI has been contacted for assistance in the case."

Eta: it seems there has been arrest in the case listed above.

 

[margarita25]

Back to the recent FOCO shootings:

"The Larimer County Coroner identified the shooter as Michael A. Zamora, 30. He died from a single gunshot to the head.

“Right now we don’t know what the motive was,” Jones said in a phone interview Friday morning. “We’re not ruling out a love triangle.”"

Snip

"Zamora was a staff sergeant in the U.S. Air Force and was assigned to F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, 60 miles north of Fort Collins, the base said. In a statement, the base said Zamora was off-duty when the shooting happened. He had served in the Air Force for more than 8 years."

http://www.denverpost.com/2017/10/20/fort-collins-shooting-victims-ambushed/


*******

"Larimer County’s coroner has identified the man who allegedly shot three people in a neighborhood west of Colorado State University Thursday morning, killing two of them before he killed himself, as Michael A. Zamora, 30, of Fort Collins."

http://www.denverpost.com/2017/10/20/fort-collins-shooter-victims-identified/

******

"When they arrived, police say they were ambushed by gunfire from 30-year-old U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Michael A. Zamora, who then turned one of the three firearms he brought to the scene on himself."

Snip

"Zamora was a special missions aviator assigned to the F.E. Warren Air Force Base near Cheyenne, Wyoming, the Air Force confirmed Friday. He had been an active military member for almost nine years, served one deployment and had been at the Wyoming base for just more than a year.

He had not faced any disciplinary actions at the base, Air Force officials told the Coloradoan."
