A 31-year-old Alamosa man was shot and killed by a sheriff’s deputy Tuesday after the man allegedly stole an SUV and confronted the deputy with a knife.

Benjamin Arvizo was killed in a confrontation with a sheriff’s deputy at a home on County Road 107 northwest of Alamosa on Tuesday afternoon, according to a Thursday news release from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

The incident started when an Alamosa County sheriff’s deputy responded to reports of a stolen Honda CR-V at an IHOP on Main Street in Alamosa at 3:53 p.m. Tuesday, according to CBI.

Emergency dispatchers notified the deputy that the stolen vehicle was found at a home on County Road 107 and a man, later identified as Arvizo, was making threats to residents with a knife. Arvizo did not have a connection to the home.

The deputy and a Colorado State Patrol trooper arrived at the home, where they were flagged down by the homeowner, who pointed toward Arvizo and the stolen vehicle.

Arvizo confronted the deputy while armed with a knife, and the deputy shot him just after 4:15 p.m. The man received first aid but died at the scene, according to CBI.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and Alamosa Police Department officials are reviewing body-worn camera footage and conducting interviews to investigate the shooting. The case will be presented to 12th Judicial District Attorney Anne Kelly when the investigation is finished.

The deputy involved in the shooting was placed on administrative leave during the investigation, according to CBI.
