An argument at Lake Pueblo State Park on Friday led to a fatal double shooting, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
Dustyn Courtney, 29, and Trevion Lucas, 20, both from Pueblo, were fatally shot just after midnight Friday near Sailboard Beach on the north side of the lake, according to a Monday news release from the CBI.
The suspect, an unknown male, got into an alleged argument and physical fight with Courtney before shooting him with a handgun, according to investigators. Lucas was not involved in the fight and officers are still investigating why he was shot, the release states.
