Person of interest
Pueblo Police consider this man a person of interest in the case of a man shot and killed outside a McDonald’s.

PUEBLO – Police are asking for help finding the man in the above photograph who was seen leaving the area of the McDonald’s in the Midtown Shopping Center on Wednesday after 29-year-old Travis Elifritz was shot and killed.

According to investigators, Elifritz was with the as yet unidentified man when they approached a gold Ford Expedition in the drive-thru.  Immediately after Elifritz was mortally wounded, the second man walked away and into the Express Employment agency. He is considered a ‘person of interest’ at this point.

The driver of the Expedition sped off from the scene. Officers later found it abandoned on W. 18th St.  A description of a possible suspect in the case has not been released.
