Fatal Officer-Involved Shooting Rocks Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs, CO – In a tragic incident that has left a community reeling, Devon Bailey lost his life in a shooting involving law enforcement officers on August 3, 2019.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has concluded its review of the facts surrounding the shooting, with the U.S. Attorney’s Office making a determination not to pursue federal charges.

According to the FBI, officer-involved shootings constitute federal criminal civil rights violations only when officers willfully deprive people of their constitutional rights to be free from unreasonable seizures or the application of unreasonable force.

Following its review, the FBI’s Denver Field Office found that there was no evidence to support the claim that Mr. Bailey’s constitutional rights were willfully violated.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office also reviewed the facts and circumstances of the shooting, and both offices have concluded that the fatal shooting of Mr. Bailey did not result from any willful violation of his constitutional rights.

The FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office have notified Mr. Bailey’s family of their conclusion and are arranging a private meeting with them to discuss their findings.

The case serves as a sobering reminder of the gravity of officer-involved shootings and the importance of thorough investigations to ensure that justice is served. The Grimy Times will continue to monitor developments in this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
