Two men and a boy were recently arrested in connection with a May 11 shooting at a Stratmoor Hills-area apartment complex that left one person injured, according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

Multiple calls for service came in around 8:06 p.m. on May 11 regarding a shooting at the Hampton Village Apartments in unincorporated El Paso County.

The Sheriff’s Office said witnesses described an argument between several men outside the complex, followed by the sound of gunfire.

Deputies arrived on the scene and found one man with a gunshot wound to his leg. The victim was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Court documents indicate that the victim told police he was approached by three men who asked his name before they physically attacked him. The victim said he attempted to run away when he was shot in the back of the leg.

Sheriff’s office investigators conducted multiple search warrants on May 16 related to the shooting.

As a result of the investigation, 38-year-old Nicholas Madrid Sr., 24-year-old Isaiah Marquez-Lobato and a juvenile male were arrested.

All three face charges of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault. Madrid and Marquez-Lobato were booked into El Paso County jail, and each is held on $200,000 bond. Marquez-Lobato is currently on probation for an unrelated crime.

Arrest affidavits for both of the arrested men point to a motive for the shooting. The affidavits state that the three assailants sought out the 25-year-old victim by name, intent on doing him harm. Investigators say the victim’s girlfriend’s brother — currently incarcerated — allegedly ordered the three assailants to hurt the victim in retaliation for the victim’s supposed domestic abuse of the sister.

The case remains an active investigation. Anyone with additional information is encouraged to contact the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 719-520-7777.
