The afternoon of Monday, May 10th, a man with a stocky build robbed the Wells Fargo Bank, located in the 3000 block of Hart Road. He is described as being dark-skinned, five-foot-eight, with long, dark curly hair which Pueblo Police believe could be a wig.

Most noticeably, however, the suspect was wearing a bright yellow construction vest, with hard hat, and orange gloves.
That construction attire nearly matches that of a robber who targeted the Pueblo Credit Union on April 13th. The suspect in that instance was skinny, about six feet tall, with short blonde hair.
The Pueblo Police Department is investigating a highway death from Monday s early hours as a homicide.
About 4:38 a.m. Monday, officers were dispatched to the U.S. Highway 50 bypass westbound from Bonforte Boulevard for a reported traffic crash involving a motorcyclist. At about the same time, police received a call for shots fired near the intersection of the bypass and Hudson Avenue.
According to police, once on scene officers determined there had not been a crash, but the motorcycle driver had suffered a gunshot wound which appeared to have caused his death, although medical attention was provided immediately. This shut the highway down for several hours as it was investigated, reopening at about 9 a.m.

For the very first time, the attorneys representing the family of Aiden Seeley are speaking out. According to the family s attorney Richard Orona, the 15-month old toddler was placed into foster care in June of 2020. A few months later, Seeley was dead.
Orona says the family was hoping to regain custody of Aiden, and were making strides in order to do so right before his September 2020 death.
The attorney declined an on camera interview at this time, however, he tells KRDO the family is in communication with Pueblo County and the Pueblo Department of Human Services. Seeley s family is calling for a complete investigation into the Aiden s death, and for DHS to review their own procedures to make sure nothing like this happens again.
