Case Background

Police spokeswoman Alex Farkas says according to statements, Salazar and three other occupants of a white sedan were traveling along Gardenia Drive near Pointe Park on July 21, and confronted a man who was walking down the sidewalk, later identified as 19-year-old Cheyenne resident William Nicholson.

"During the conflict, Salazar allegedly exited the vehicle and shot multiple times in the direction of Nicholson," said Farkas. "No injuries were reported."

Farkas says through ongoing investigative work, detectives learned that Salazar was the suspect.

"Salazar has been cooperative and has provided multiple statements to detectives at the police department," she said.

Farkas says Nicholson's current case appears to be unrelated.
