Two law enforcement officials will not face charges after an investigation into an April officer-involved shooting was deemed justified, according to the Weld County District Attorney’s Office.

District Attorney Michael Rourke wrote that he came to this conclusion after his office reviewed the investigation into the shooting by by the 19th Judicial District Critical Response Team, that investigates all office-involved shooting in the county.

“The use of such force was reasonable based on (the defendants) threatened use of deadly physical force against both civilians and law enforcement officers,” Rourke wrote in the report.

The report only clears Weld County sheriff’s deputy Simon Gonifas and Officer Kyle Cooksey of the Dacono Police Department.

Multiple agencies including the sheriff’s office, Fort Lupton, Dacono and Platteville Police Departments responded or assisted after a disturbance with a weapon was made just after 8:30 a.m. on April 17.

The calling party, Valerie Crockett, told dispatch her ex-husband, Smokey Crockett,  came to her home, went into her bedroom and grabbed her loaded .380 caliber handgun and said,” Did you know today was going to be your last day?” according to the report.

Prior to her fleeing out the back door, Valerie said her ex-husband pointed a gun at her head, threatened to shoot her in the face or any law enforcement officials that showed up.

Just after 8:50 a.m. the first officer, Sgt. William Carnes, of the FLPD arrived first on-scene and advised others responding there was a man in the driveway at the residence in the 16000 block of Calser Avenue.

Two minutes later, Carnes reported Crocket fired in his direction, and as a response he returned fire, according to the report.

While Gonifas and Cooksey were en route, they heard over the radio the suspect fired a shot or shots and officers returned fire.

Within minutes, additional deputies and officers arrived on-scene, including Gonifas and Cooksey.

Gonifas exited his patrol unit with a patrol rifle and position himself at his passenger from door of his vehicle. At the time there were at least five Fort Lupton and one Platteville officers on-scene and he could hear someone telling Crockett to “drop the gun,” according to the report.

Cooksey said he was the third person on-scene and gathered around two other officers with his handgun drawn and a ballistic shield.

Both officers recalled seeing Crockett on the front porch, and then he started walking along Casler Street, armed with a handgun in his right hand.

Crockett, while walking, raised his hand with the weapon, but then quickly lowered it, but continued to walk towards officers and raised the gun a second time, which resulted in multiple officers firing their weapons. He was struck five times and pronounced dead on-scene.

The investigation determined that Cooksey fired eleven shots from his handgun, while Gonifas fired three rounds from his rifle, according to the report.

“I find that Deputy Gonifas and Officer Cooksey were justified in using lethal force against Crockett,” Rourke wrote in the report.

Two members of the FLPD are also under investigation for the incident by the Colorado Bureau of Investigations as department is not apart of the 19th Judicial District Critical Response Team, according to the report.
