The 4th Judicial District Attorney’s Office has released its official review of a deputy-involved shooting in January.
According to the DA’s office, they found the lethal use of force by El Paso County Sheriff’s Deputies, Cameron Komrofske, Jonathan Aggen, and Tiffany Lee, as well as Fountain Police Officers Brandon Anderson and Destin Alvarez, was justified on the night of January 27.

The DA’s Office says Deputy Komrofske first contacted a man, identified as Christopher Fraijo, because he was, “walking suspiciously” along Crawford Avenue and Security Boulevard in Fountain around 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Deputy Komrofske said that the Fraijo continued to move in a way as he passed by that indicated he could be hiding something.
As Komrofske passed Fraijo for the third time, he noted that he “saw a barrel of a gun peek over his [Mr. Fraijo’s] left shoulder”.
It was at this point that Komrofske radioed he would be speaking to Fraijo.
