Cimarron Hills shooting victim identified as 39-year-old

The victim of a shooting in a Cimarron Hills house on July 7 has been identified as Michael Fell, 39, a spokesperson with the El Paso County Coroner’s Office told The Gazette on Monday.

Deputies found Fell with a gunshot wound after they responded to the residence in the 2300 block of Reed Grass Way, near the intersection of Marksheffel Road and Constitution Avenue. Fell did not survive, despite lifesaving efforts by members of the Falcon Fire Protection District.

Investigators later determined that four masked men had entered the home and stolen some items, but a spokesperson for the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office did not specify what those items were. It is unclear how the robbery and shooting may be connected.

This incident is believed to be isolated and there is no threat to the community, according to the sheriff’s office.

A spokesperson told The Gazette on Monday that there have been no arrests in the case.

Anyone with information or video of the incident is encouraged to contact EPCSO at 719-390-5555.
