Person of Interest Sought; Arrest Made in University Hill Shooting

The Boulder Police Department is asking for the public’s help to find the individual seen here in connection to the shooting on University Hill on Sunday.

Boulder Police have also arrested and charged Zakiyy Lucas, 22, with felony attempt murder in the first degree-extreme indifference, felony attempt murder in the first degree-after deliberation, and misdemeanor disorderly conduct-discharge firearm. He was the suspect wounded during Sunday morning’s gunfire at 13th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue on University Hill. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.

Detectives are asking for the public’s help to identify this person of interest in connection with the same crime. Anyone with any information is asked to call Detective Cantu at 303-441-4328 reference case 22-09880.

At approximately 1:27 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 2, officers were on foot near the 1200 block of Pennsylvania Avenue for another call when they received a report about a disturbance with guns nearby. As they rounded the corner, they encountered armed individuals who were actively shooting. One officer discharged his weapon during the interaction with the suspects. During the incident, Lucas was shot in the arm and taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

No officers were injured.

Other individuals ran from the area and officers are following up on several leads to find them. Further investigation shows that at least three different types of firearms were involved.

At this time, detectives do not believe the felony menacing, which occurred in the 1100 block of University Avenue at 2:02 a.m. the same day, is related.

As in every criminal case, these charges are an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty.
