The man who died during a standoff Tuesday at a Loveland apartment complex shot himself, the Larimer County coroner ruled Wednesday.

He has been identified as 37-year-old Alexander Vogel.

An autopsy performed Wednesday by Coroner James A. Wilkerson “determined the death occurred when the decedent shot himself in the head with a pistol,” the Coroner’s Office said in a release.

Vogel resided at 930 N. Monroe Ave., No. 14. He became the focal point of Loveland Police and Larimer County Sheriff’s Office SWAT teams Tuesday, when he brandished a rifle at sheriff’s deputies who were issuing a court-ordered eviction notice, according to LCSO.

According to Loveland Police Lt. Bob Shaffer in a Tuesday evening release, SWAT teams made several efforts to coax Vogel out of the apartment using a bullhorn and gas canisters. However, when SWAT teams eventually entered the apartment Tuesday afternoon, they found the resident deceased.

Monroe Apartments owner Myron Lloyd and apartment manager Kim Lloyd were at the apartment building Wednesday afternoon to clean up and plan next steps.

Myron Lloyd said they had hazardous materials people out to ensure the safety of residents after the use of the gas canisters, and also to measure windows that had been broken by their deployment. He planned to board them up Wednesday and order replacements.

Myron said that, to his knowledge, only one apartment was deemed uninhabitable, and the Red Cross was able to care for the residents during window repair. Broken windows were visible on the north and south sides of the building leading to Vogel’s apartment.

Kim Lloyd said Vogel “was a good person,” but the last time she heard from him was when he wrote her a check for April’s rent.

“He just shut himself off from everything,” Kim Lloyd said Wednesday, looking up at the broken windows.

Myron Lloyd said court-ordered evictions are a rarity at his Loveland apartment building, and happen “every 10 years or so.” He has owned the property since 1982.

Colorado court records show a forcible entry and detainer case between Lloyd and Vogel, filed June 26, 2019, regarding a complaint involving between $1,000 and $15,000. A “detainer” is the action of detaining or withholding property.

Rae Ann M. Garrett, who lives near the corner of North Monroe Avenue and East Ninth Street, said she was home during

the standoff, and some evacuated residents of the apartment building watched from her property. Other neighbors also provided temporary shelter for residents Tuesday.

She said police on scene Tuesday were like “a well-oiled machine” during the standoff.

“They tried everything they could,” she said, noting she could see and hear them negotiate with Vogel. “It was really amazing to see them work.”
