At 3:59 p.m. Officers responded to a call of a Robbery and Car Jacking in the 15800 block of E 107th Ave. It was reported that two males had rear ended a car in front of them. When the car stopped they took the driver out and robbed him at gunpoint. The suspects then returned to their car and took off at a high rate of speed. As they were fleeing the area they lost control of their car at Jasper Street and Heartland, leaving the road and striking two trees and a street sign causing the right front tire to flatten. About this same time, two Commerce City Police Detectives were in the area on an unrelated investigation saw the suspects driving erratically. They attempted to stop the suspects but instead of stopping the suspects attempted to elude the officers. The suspects completely lost the right front tire of their vehicle at the intersection of E 120th Avenue and Chambers Road. The suspects exited their car and attempted to carjack other motorists at gun point. Detectives confronted the suspects and shots were fired resulting in both suspects being shot. The suspects then attempted to run from the scene but were caught just yards west of the intersection after a brief foot chase. Both suspects were transported to local hospitals where one of them later died from his injuries.Both suspects are males in their early twenties names are not be released at this time for investigative reasons.
Adams County Critical Incident Team has been called out to investigate the shooting.
UPDATE: Authorities say the man killed by Commerce City police following an alleged car chase and robbery was 23-year-old Peter Ramierez.
