Ervin Spahitch, 23, was found dead in Wheat Ridge, Colorado on the evening of January 26, 2019. He was discovered slumped over the steering wheel of his car in the 3200 block of Gray Street with the engine still running. Responding officers found him bleeding and unresponsive; he was pronounced dead at the scene from apparent gunshot wounds. The vehicle showed multiple bullet holes and shell casings were scattered nearby.

The investigation unfolded over the following year and ultimately led detectives to four suspects. In January 2020 three people were taken into custody and a fourth turned herself in shortly afterward. All four were charged with first-degree murder and robbery, among other counts; three of the accused, though teenagers at the time, were charged as adults.

What additional details about that night might help clarify how the robbery escalated to deadly violence?
