In the crisp autumn air of November 9, 2022, a violent encounter in Northglenn, Colorado, claimed the life of 39-year-old Anthony Luis Romero Sr. The fatal incident unfolded in the afternoon, at approximately 1:45 p.m., near the intersection of Fox Run Parkway and Fox Run Circle. Romero, a male resident of Cheyenne, Wyoming, was behind the wheel of a black Cadillac SUV, possibly bearing Wyoming license plates, when the tragic events began to transpire.
According to witness accounts,
Romero had a passenger in his vehicle when he abruptly executed a U-turn and stopped to confront a man who was walking on the sidewalk. The situation escalated rapidly as both Romero and the pedestrian brandished handguns. In the ensuing confrontation, multiple shots were fired, and Romero was struck several times. The Northglenn Police Department responded to reports of the gunfire and discovered Romero at the scene, where he was pronounced dead.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, chaos ensued as both the passenger in Romero's SUV and the gunman fled the scene. The passenger was seen running towards West 104th Avenue, while the shooter fled northbound. Law enforcement quickly established a perimeter and conducted a thorough search of the area, but their efforts to locate the suspect were unsuccessful. A Code Red notification was issued to alert nearby residents of the potential danger, though it was later lifted once authorities determined the suspect had likely left the vicinity and no longer posed an immediate threat to the public.
As of the latest available information, no arrests have been made in connection with the shooting death of Anthony Luis Romero Sr. The suspect remains at large, and the Northglenn Police Department continues its investigation, urging anyone with information to come forward. Romero was remembered by his loved ones for his vibrant personality and deep devotion to his family.
