On May 11, 2026, at approximately 2:31 AM, the El Paso County Regional Communications Center received a report of a shooting in the Cheyenne Mountain Estates area, near the 8100 block of Piute Road in unincorporated El Paso County.
The caller reported a group of teenagers was outside their residence.
When the group noticed the occupant of the home, one individual allegedly fired multiple rounds toward the home. The residence and several nearby vehicles were struck by gunfire, but no injuries were reported.
Responding Patrol deputies searched the area but were unable to locate any suspects.
