Gabriel Santiago, 19, has been charged with murder in the case.
Police initially found a man, later identified as Adams, dead in a vehicle in the 1000 block of Elm Street after receiving a ShotSpotter alert at 9:25 p.m. on April 7.
Alexandra Santiago, Gabriel Santiago's sister, allegedly admitted during questioning that she had seen an altercation between her brother and Adams prior to Adams being shot outside of her Elm Street residence, according to an affidavit authored by Pueblo police.
A few minutes after the shooting occurred, two people could be seen on security footage exiting the residence and walking southbound on Elm Street, according to the affidavit.
Sgt. Frank Ortega stated that he believes the two people shown in the footage are likely the same two who left the residence after the shooting.
Santiago is scheduled for a first appearance on May 2 before District Judge Amiel Markenson. As of Friday, he was still being held in the Pueblo County jail on a $600,000 bond.
If you can identify the individuals in the footage, call Pueblo PD Detective Medina at 719-320-6006, or if you would like to remain anonymous, call Pueblo Crime Stoppers at 719-542-STOP (719-542-7867)or submit a tip at pueblocrimestoppers.com.
