The warrant comes after a deadly shooting Saturday at an apartment building in the 700 block of Mangold Lane. Police believe it was a gang-related shooting, but they have not released information about why they think that or who may have been involved, saying they want to avoid a retaliatory attack.

The victim of the shooting, a man, was pronounced dead after officers from Fort Collins Police Services attempted to save his life when they arrived.

Police have been searching for Pacheco, but as of Monday afternoon, they had not located him. The department released a mugshot from an arrest in Larimer County and urged anyone who sees him to call 911.

Pacheco is considered armed and dangerous, police said, and should not be approached.
