PUEBLO — A traffic stop Thursday led to a 20-year-old being arrested for attempted homicide, according to the Pueblo Police Department.

It happened around 3:15 a.m. when an officer noticed a suspicious vehicle without license plate lights in the downtown area.

Police say the officer reported the plate number and vehicle description to a detective, who determined the vehicle was involved in a shooting last month.

The detective responded to the scene. Police say the officer and detective were able to take 20-year-old Alexander Vigil into custody without incident.

According to police, Vigil was booked into the Pueblo County Jail for an attempted homicide warrant on a $250,000 bond.

The department says with help from their new Real Time Crime Center, they are focused on finding suspects in incidents like this one.
