Greeley, CO – A Windsor man has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for a 2024 drive-by shooting that led to a multi-agency police pursuit across northern Colorado, according to the Weld County District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors said the man was convicted on multiple charges tied to the incident, which occurred last year and prompted a coordinated response from several law enforcement agencies throughout Weld County and nearby jurisdictions. The DA’s Office said the case highlighted collaboration between local police, sheriff’s deputies, and the Colorado State Patrol.
According to officials, the man allegedly opened fire from a moving vehicle during a confrontation before attempting to evade officers. After a high-speed pursuit, he was taken into custody and later charged with multiple felonies, including attempted murder and illegal discharge of a firearm.
In a statement posted Thursday, the Weld County District Attorney’s Office said the 45-year sentence reflects “the severity of violence committed and the danger posed to the community.” The case drew attention across northern Colorado for its intensity and the number of agencies involved in securing the arrest.
Law enforcement credited public tips and coordinated communication for safely resolving the pursuit and preventing further harm. The defendant will serve his sentence in the Colorado Department of Corrections.
