Gonzalez was tragically shot and killed near the 1700 block of East Ash Street on June 27, while Masias met the same fate the following day in the 300 block of East Northern Avenue. Both cases are currently under investigation as homicides, with the authorities confirming that the next of kin for both victims have been notified. These incidents mark the 13th and 14th homicides in the city of Pueblo in 2024 so far.
Police were first alerted to the situation when the ShotSpotter system reported gunshots in the 200 block of South Portland Avenue around 12:35 a.m. on June 27. Shortly after, it was reported that Gonzalez had been found at the intersection of East Fifth Street and Reading Avenue with a gunshot wound. She was rushed to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries but unfortunately succumbed to her wounds.
During their investigations, the police managed to obtain footage of the suspected vehicle linked to the crime, which was also reportedly involved in a drive-by shooting near 13th and West streets shortly after Gonzalez’s tragic death.
The following day, officers responded to another shooting incident in the 300 block of East Northern Avenue just after 9:30 p.m. Two women were found injured at the scene, with Masias being taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, where she later passed away. The second woman, who had less severe injuries, was also hospitalised for treatment.
