The deaths of three people in the Parker area were determined to be a double homicide and a suicide, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and Parker police. 

Deputies initially responded to a medical call on Jan. 11 in the 13000 block of Ancestry Drive, off Hess Road in unincorporated Douglas County, and discovered two bodies. Information at the scene led them to a home on Blackwolf Drive in Parker, where Parker police found a dead woman. 

The investigation showed Brandon Timms, 38, shot and killed Angel Meyers, 43, at the Blackwolf Drive home. He then drove a juvenile male up Hess Road, where he shot the boy and then himself, according to a Thursday news release.

The investigation is ongoing, but no other details are forthcoming, police said in the release.

On Jan. 11, Parker police went to the Blackwolf Drive around 10 a.m. They found Meyers dead in the home. They also noticed a natural gas leak around 10:30 a.m. and evacuated homes in the area of Blackwolf Drive and Blackwolf Way.

Neighbor Andrea Ochoa told The Denver Gazette’s news partner, 9News, that they saw the family that lives at the residence, and the parents waved and said hello as they waited with their son for the school bus to pick him up.

“This morning, I was taking my dog out for a walk like I do every morning. And when we got down to that little trail intersection, I noticed that their garage door was up, and I saw their gray van kind of back out of the garage and it kind of idled there for a minute or two before it drove away,” Ochoa said.

The van was towed away from Rueter-Hess Incline later in the afternoon.

South Metro Fire Rescue responded to the gas leak and stopped it around 11 a.m. that day, helping residents return to their homes.

An Xcel Energy spokesperson told The Denver Gazette that a team checked the gas system at the Parker residence and didn’t find any leaks or faulty equipment.

Ochoa said last week her family was worried for the young boy who lived there, still holding out hope.

“Yeah, we are hoping to maybe get an update from where he is and if he’s OK, because that would just be awful if anything happened to him,” Ochoa said. “So yeah, we’re really just hoping that he’s OK.”
