On Saturday, July 5, 2025, just after 1:30 AM, the Colorado Springs Police Department received a call for service regarding a possible disturbance in the 100 block of East Pikes Peak Avenue involving an adult male displaying a firearm around the closing of several area nightclubs. Officers who were monitoring the downtown cameras located an individual matching the description provided, and they confirmed he was armed with what appeared to be a firearm. When officers arrived on scene, they attempted to contact the male. When officers approached the man, he turned and ran, while reaching for his waistband. At that time, one officer fired at least one shot, striking the suspect. Officers took the suspect into custody and began rendering medical aid, but despite those efforts, the suspect died on scene. No other community members or officers were injured in this incident. The suspect was identified as 26-year-old Alex Martinez-Sarmiento. Officers recovered a loaded Glock 17 with an illegal extended magazine from the right pant leg of Martinez-Sarmiento.
