Kristian Macleod, 44, was shot on a Saturday afternoon in Golden, Colorado. Deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 800 block of Kilmer Street shortly after 4 p.m. on April 13, 2019, after reports of shots fired. Macleod was found with a gunshot wound, taken to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, and pronounced dead later that day.

The investigation led to two arrests in the days after the shooting. On April 14, 2019, 24-year-old Laci Barclay was taken into custody. Two days after the shooting, 27-year-old Joshua Polaske was arrested. The Jefferson and Gilpin counties district attorney’s office filed charges: Polaske was charged with first-degree murder, distribution of a controlled substance, and possession of a weapon by a previous offender; Barclay was charged with accessory to murder and distribution of a controlled substance. The case file was sealed, limiting further public details.

Did anyone in Golden at the time hear or see activity on Kilmer Street that afternoon?
