A Pueblo man was charged with manslaughter on July 2 after initially being pulled over on suspicion of having a fake license plate and illegal window tint.
Moses Wagner, 49, was arrested in connection with the death of 39-year-old Victoria Brandon Delira-Alires on June 29. Wagner was taken into custody after being pulled over by a Pueblo County sheriff's deputy in the 1600 block of Santa Fe Drive for the alleged fictitious license plate and illegal tint.
"During the investigation, law enforcement gathered sufficient evidence to obtain an arrest warrant for Wagner in the death of Delira-Alires," Pueblo Police Department officials stated in a news release.
Pueblo police officials did not immediately respond to a request for additional information from the Chieftain.
Wagner was booked into the Pueblo County Detention Center on a charge of manslaughter, a Class 4 felony. He was being held in the county jail on a $100,000 cash, surety, or property bond as of July 3.
Delira-Alires was found shot and declared dead on June 29 after police were called to the 2400 block of Pine Street on a report of an injured woman. Her death marked Pueblo's sixth homicide of 2025.
Wagner's first appearance in a Pueblo court is scheduled for July 10.
