Later in the morning, deputies found the car abandoned near East 25th Avenue and Imboden Road. They searched the area and found Harmony Wolfgram and another unidentified woman.
“During the contact, deputies were alerted that the suspect had a gun. The suspect was fatally shot,” the sheriff’s office wrote on its Facebook page.
But the circumstances surrounding the moments shortly before the shooting remain unknown.
“It’s just hard to grieve when you absolutely have no answers. There’s no answers at all,” Wolfgram’s brother, Stephen Rivale, said Tuesday.
A day after the shooting, Rivale spoke with a detective assigned to the case, who only made the situation more confusing.
“[The detective] did confirm that she was shot once and that she did not have a gun,” Rivale said.
Additionally, the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office confirmed to Denver7 Tuesday evening “the investigation did not reveal a gun on the scene of the shooting.”
The mixed messaging and lack of communication has Wolfgram’s family frustrated.
“I just don’t understand how they can have a full story, but they can’t release any information to the family,” Rivale said.
The family’s attorney, Siddhartha Rathod, said this situation is painting Wolfgram in a negative light.
