GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. – Authorities have confirmed that the recent shooting on 32 Road, which resulted in the death of 29-year-old Logan Cannon, is not being investigated as a homicide. The Mesa County Coroner’s office released a statement clarifying that the circumstances surrounding Cannon’s death do not meet the criteria for a homicide investigation.
Coroner Releases Victim’s Identity
