The Federal Bureau of Investigation has joined the investigation of a fatal Windsor shooting that killed a city employee Monday morning.

A reason as to why federal agents, rather than county or state officials, have been brought in to assist in the investigation was not offered Tuesday, according to Windsor police.

“We get cooperation from all sorts of agencies,” Lt Richard Higuera said when asked about the federal involvement.

John Jacoby, 48, was bicycling along Weld County Road 15 when he was reportedly shot twice and left on the side of the road.

Passing motorists called emergency dispatchers around 10 a.m.

A Windsor police release Tuesday morning said the investigation continues; however, no new information is being made available for the public. The release also added the department is following up on all tips submitted by residents.

“We always have intense patrols in Windsor,” Higuera said at a Monday night press conference. “We are very big on police presence and we also have a good citizen base that calls us when something appears out of the norm.”

The town of Windsor officials sent out another release Tuesday afternoon offering condolences and sympathies to Jacoby’s family.

The release stated that the man had provided exceptional service to the Windsor community and was liked by all.

Jacoby was a part-time park caretaker for Windsor — Higuera said he was a longtime resident of the town and that he was acquainted with him. Jacoby maintained Main Park, the Community Recreation Center and the Police Services Building.

The town’s release quoted Wad Willis, Windsor’s Parks and Open Space manager.

“He would always come in early to the parks shop and chat, especially about sports,” Willis said. “He seemed to have a special bond with everyone he encountered.”

When asked if police thought this shooting was connected to the April shooting on Interstate 25 that left one woman critically injured, Higuera said it hasn’t been ruled out.

“It doesn’t appear that anything is related to this,” he said in a press conference Monday night. ” … We are looking at all possibilities, and certainly that one has been around the block that last month or so; so it’s something we will look into as well as all other possibilities.”

Windsor police officials are asking residents to be aware and report any suspicious behavior to police by calling 674-6400.
