Man, 49, is charged with vehicular homicide

Patrick Layden, 49, has been charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault and assault in the first degree following an April 10 crash in Denver that left a 46-year-old man dead and a young girl hospitalized with serious injuries, the Denver District Attorney announced Tuesday.

Layden was charged with two counts of assault in the first degree, one count of vehicular homicide and one count of vehicular assault for the incident that happened at the intersection of 32nd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard.

Prosecutors allege Layden was speeding, crossing double yellow lines and ran a red light before striking a vehicle driven by Bradley Brubaker, who was pronounced dead at the scene from multiple blunt force injuries, according to the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.

Brubaker’s young daughter was also injured in the crash.

A GoFundMe campaign was established to help raise money for Brubaker’s family, who described the 46-year-old as “an incredible father and a beloved member of the community.”

Layden is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday.

Man fatally shot by police identified.

Aman fatally shot by the Colorado Springs Police Department last week was identified Tuesday.

Richard Quintana, 37, was shot last Thursday while police officers were investigating a stolen car in the 500 block of Garden of the Gods Road, according to a news release from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

Police located a vehicle in a Quality Inn parking lot without a license plate and attempted to make contact with Quintana, who allegedly exited the vehicle “with what appeared to be an AR-15 pointed at his chin,” the Colorado Springs Police Department said.

Officers said they gave Quintana verbal commands to put down the weapon as he walked to a nearby gas station, but that Quintana allegedly did not comply.

When Quintana allegedly approached someone pumping gas and still did not drop the weapon, police said they deployed a Taser, “which was ineffective.” Another officer fired at least one round, hitting Quintana at least once, the sheriff’s office said.

Quintana was taken to a local hospital where he died. The cause and manner of death will be determined by the coroner’s office.

The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is the lead investigative agency for the shooting.

The officer who shot Quintana, who has not been identified, was not injured and has been placed on administrative leave per their policy. Information regarding the law enforcement officer who shot Quintana will come from the Colorado Springs Police Department.
