PUEBLO — The victims of a deadly shooting that happened last week at Lake Pueblo State Park have been identified.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) says they are 29-year-old Dustyn Courtney and 20-year-old Trevion Lucas, both from Pueblo.
The shooting happened near Sailboard Beach just after midnight Friday by an unidentified man, according to the CBI. They say the suspect and Courtney got into a fight that resulted in the man allegedly pulling a gun on Courtney. They also say Lucas doesn't seem to be a part of the dispute.
The CBI says witnesses indicate the suspect left the park and remains on the run. They also say they are continuing to interview witnesses in hopes of finding the man.
