A teenager shot in northeast Colorado Springs the evening of Nov. 5 has died of his injuries, police Lt. Jim Sokolik said Monday night.
Detectives are investigating the the death of 19-year-old Alijah Vialpando, Sokolik said, and few details have been released.
Vialpando was driving when he was shot near the intersection of Briargate and Union boulevards around 7 p.m. on Nov. 5. After the shooting he crashed in a parking lot.
Sokolik said he could not say how many times Vialpando was shot nor whether police were seeking one or multiple suspects. He did not know a precise time of death for Vialpando, but said he assumed the death was recent.
An autopsy by El Paso County Coroner’s Office declared Vialpando’s death a homicide, Sokolik said in a release. This is the city’s 23rd homicide this year. By this time in 2018, the city had seen 31 homicides, he said.
