The fiancée of a man who was shot and killed in a road rage incident on Interstate 70 in Denver last year is speaking out after the suspect pleaded guilty.
"It was hard enough losing my fiancé, but losing my best friend was nearly impossible to get through," said Tamra Holton, Piaskowski's long-time partner.
Piaskowski and Holton had gotten engaged just two months before the shooting. Wedding plans were underway when their love story was cut short.Denver police search for suspects after I-70 driver fatally shot Robert Garrison 3:03 PM, Aug 01, 2022 Piaskowski was on his way home when he was killed during a road rage incident at I-70 and North Quebec Street on July 31, 2022.
Jameel James, now 18, pleaded guilty Tuesday to second-degree murder in connection to Piaskowski's death. He was 17 years old at the time of the shooting. "I think since the beginning, it's been frustrating because what comes out in the news is, you know, he's being tried as an adult. What people don't know is that they still have the chance to be tried as a juvenile. And so, that's where the gamble happens," said Holton.Teen charged as adult in fatal I-70 shooting in Denver pleads guilty Óscar Contreras 1:24 PM, Sep 26, 2023 Now, all Holton has left is pictures and love letters from her would-be husband.
"We were just soulmates. I feel like we were here for each other and supported each other through everything. And we just complemented each other so well," Holton said."I didn't imagine spending any more days without him." The Follow UpWhat do you want Denver7 to follow up on?
