Three people were killed and nine people were injured in at least seven weekend shootings in Aurora, Denver and Greeley.
Of the fatal shootings, two were in Denver and one was in Greeley.
On Friday night, the body of a woman was found in the back of her car in Greeley after she went missing before closing the nutrition store where she worked.
Police responded to Nuco Nutrition just before 8 p.m., where they found a “large amount of blood,” and the business appeared to be broken into.
