(Highlands Ranch, CO) In accordance with Colorado state law, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office stands ready to release video footage of the officer involved shooting that occurred during an active shooter incident at Main Event in Highlands Ranch on February 8, 2025. However, the public defender representing alleged shooter 23-year-old Nevaeaha Crowley-Sanders has provided a notice of intent to file an objection to the release of the video and audio recordings depicting Mr. Seabron’s death. This has now delayed our ability to release any video.
“The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has a duty to inform the public of the status of this investigation. The community deserves to see the facts for themselves, and that time will come. We ask for patience while the legal process plays out. We urge the community not to be misled by inaccurate information from individuals who do not have all the facts,” said Sheriff Darren Weekly.
The man shot and fatally wounded by the first deputy on scene has been identified as 23-year-old Jalin Seabron of unincorporated Arapahoe County. Through the course of the investigation, detectives have determined that Mr. Seabron was related and was an accessory to the woman who is accused of firing multiple shots from a gun inside the business after a fight broke out in the women’s restroom. She is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. One female was shot multiple times as dozens of customers ran for cover. The fight spilled out into the parking lot as the female suspect exited the business with Mr. Seabron, who was armed with a different handgun.
The video shows the first deputy on scene acted to protect himself and others from grave and immediate danger. Mr. Seabron, armed with a handgun with an illegal extended magazine, was pointing his weapon toward several people, refused repeated commands by the deputy to drop the gun, and then turned toward the deputy. Our deputy acted decisively to protect innocent lives, and these actions should be seen in full context.
While we respect due process, we will fight against any attempt to suppress the truth, and we will release the video at the earliest possible legal opportunity.
We stand by our deputy and his swift, courageous response. This office will push for full transparency, and we will keep you informed as this case progresses.
