Colorado Springs Halloween Homicide Suspect Arrested

Colorado Springs police identified 40-year-old Brody McDowell as the man shot and killed around 7 p.m. on Halloween in the 400 block of North Union Boulevard. Police arrested 27-year-old Davijo Velarde, who faces a first-degree murder charge. McDowell’s death was the city’s 12th homicide of 2026, compared with 29 homicides by the same point in 2025. A separate Halloween-party shooting in Greeley is unrelated to this case.
