COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police are investigating a Thursday night welfare check of an unkown white man suffering from a gunshot wound.
Police got the call from the 500 block of Warren Avenue, near East Cheyenne Boulevard, from a homeowner after the 30-year-old victim knocked on their door.
Neighbors said they woke up to a trail of blood they believe to be the victim's. They said it started at the stop sign near the intersection of Corona and Hunter Avenues and ended a few houses away on Warren Avenue.
"To find everything cordoned off in front of my house and all these markers in the street, I didn't know what they were for but I knew it was an investigation," John Fontanez, a neighbor, said.
The neighbor's information correlates with the multiple shell casings police found near Corona and Hunter Avenues, which means the victim would have walked about 500 feet.
Investigators from the Major Crimes Homicide Unit are still trying to figure out why the 30-year-old man was in the neighborhood.
"There's definitely somebody on the loose that shot him," Lt. Kirk Wilson with the Colorado Springs Police Department said. "I don't think they're in the area. We don't know what the altercation was or what the disturbance was about."
The victim was later transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced dead. Police have not released the victim's name.
