Greeley man accused of shooting mother Thursday

A 50-year-old woman was found unresponsive in a Greeley home. She was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

GREELEY, Colo. — A woman was shot and killed in Greeley Thursday night, and her son told officers he's the one who did it.

Police were called to the 900 block of 4th Avenue around 5:15 p.m. on Dec. 8 by 22-year-old Andrew Sweatt who reported that he had just shot his mother.

When officers arrived they located Sweatt outside the home, an arrest affidavit says. He told the officers that he had shot his mother, Angela Eyestone, once in the head and once in the chest.

The officers went inside and found her unresponsive on the couch. She was brought to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. 

Sweatt was taken into custody and later charged with first-degree murder.

Anyone who has information on this case is asked to call Detective Prill at 970-250-9532.
