Two people were killed, including an unborn child, and another wounded in a shooting at a Pueblo bar early Thursday, Pueblo police said in a news release.
About 12:15 a.m. a masked man walked into Sharky’s Bar on the 1500 block of East Evans Avenue and fired at a man and a pregnant woman, believed to be boyfriend and girlfriend.
Quincey Coates, 23, died on scene while his girlfriend, Nicole Vallejos, 28, who was also shot, was rushed to the hospital.
“Hospital personnel delivered the baby, but the child did not survive the incident,” police said. “The child is now considered the second homicide victim.”
Police are searching for the shooter and are asking anyone with information to call them.
