Wellington

A homicide suspect took his own life after leading Wyoming and Colorado authorities on a chase from Cheyenne to Wellington early Saturday morning, officials say.

A wanted Wellington, Colorado man is facing felony charges in Laramie County after reportedly getting into a hit-and-run accident with a pickup he stole from a Cheyenne construction company.

The deputies turned around to follow the Durango, but the driver sped away before they could stop him. He left the car and fled on foot, but deputies found him hiding in a backyard and arrested him.

Transportation officials are working to establish a reliable regional transit connection between Cheyenne and northern Colorado and are asking for the public's feedback.

The shooting followed a high-speed chase.

Investigators think some of the juveniles or surveillance systems on nearby homes may have captured video of the incident.

Things that we all missed in 2020 are starting to make their return and one is on the way. Wellington Brewfest will make its return on June 5th this year at Centennial Park in Downtown Wellington, CO.
