Accident – Death – Obituary News : Police Launch Manhunt for Suspect in Fatal Shooting in Southern Colorado

Authorities are on the hunt for a suspect following a shooting incident in a rural area of southern Colorado that left three people dead and one person injured on Monday afternoon. The shooting is believed to have been triggered by a dispute over property lines, according to Custer County Sheriff Lloyd “Rich” Smith.

The tragic incident unfolded at approximately 1 p.m. when an unidentified shooter opened fire on a group of five individuals. Two men and a woman tragically lost their lives, while another woman sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the chest but is expected to survive, Sheriff Smith confirmed during a press conference on Monday night. Fortunately, a fifth person managed to escape unharmed.

Law enforcement agencies are currently searching for the suspect, who has been identified as 45-year-old Hanme K. Clarke. Sheriff Smith revealed that the suspect and at least one of the victims had been involved in previous civil disputes over property lines, although no further details were provided.

The shooting took place in a wooded area of Custer County, a rural part of the state with a population of just over 5,000 residents. As authorities scoured the area for the suspect, a shelter-in-place order was issued to residents at 1:43 p.m. ET. The search efforts are being aided by a drone and a SWAT team.

At the time of the press conference, Clarke was believed to be driving a white Dodge Ram pickup truck. Sheriff Smith expressed confidence in their leads, stating that they were working closely with another law enforcement agency to apprehend the suspect promptly.

“This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly,” emphasized Sheriff Smith.
