The El Paso County Coroner’s Office has identified the victim of a shooting late last Thursday night in north Colorado Springs, according to the Colorado Springs Police Department.

Police said on April 18 at roughly 11:48 p.m., officers received reports of shots fired along the 4200 block of Sinton Road.

Officers on the scene located a man suffering life-threatening injuries. According to the department, the man was transported to a nearby hospital where he died of his injuries.

The man has been identified as 55-year-old Jason Bales of Colorado Springs. His death is being investigated as a homicide, and a suspect has not yet been identified, officials said.

“Detectives continue to investigate the circumstances of this incident, including the development of potential suspect information,” a Tuesday department announcement reads.
