Colorado State Troopers tracked Uncles to the Ramada Plaza at West 48th Avenue and Bannock Street last Friday during an auto theft investigation. When the undercover troopers tried to make an arrest, Uncles ran and then pulled a gun on the troopers. That's when one of the troopers fired at the suspect, who then fell to the ground on Bannock Street in front of the Ramada. Uncles was pronounced dead a few minutes later at Denver Health.
