2 lawmakers' vehicles vandalized at Colorado Capitol on last day of session: CSP
DENVER (KDVR) — Two Colorado state lawmakers' vehicles were vandalized at the state Capitol on Wednesday, the last day of the regular legislative session, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Video footage showed a suspect damaging a vehicle belonging to Rep. Sean Camacho, a Denver Democrat, at around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday on the east side of the Capitol's parking lot, CSP said in a Thursday press release. The vehicle had a broken windshield caused by a thrown rock.

Another vehicle, this one belonging to Republican Senate Minority Caucus Chair Byron Pelton, who is from Logan County, was also found in the same parking lot damaged with an 'expletive' carved into its hood.
CSP said they believe the two vehicles were randomly chosen.
The video footage showed the suspect leaving the parking lot, walking west on Colfax Avenue to Broadway and proceeding north on Broadway until he went out of the camera's range. CSP believes the suspect is a male and was wearing blue jeans and a dark-colored jacket, carrying a tote shopping bag.
Colorado State Patrol investigators are working with the Denver Police Department to identify and locate the suspect. Anyone with information is asked to contact CSP dispatch at 303-866-3660, referencing case number ES250090.
