COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Three shootings and two carjackings that happened in Colorado Springs Saturday are related and police are still looking for a suspect they believe was involved in those crimes, according to a release from the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD).

It started just after 10 a.m. when officers responded to a shooting in the 3700 block of Westmeadow Drive. Police said they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was brought to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to CSPD. Police learned the next day that he had died.
