The suspect in a March 26 shooting at the Walmart parking lot at 2285 S. Ken Pratt Boulevard is in the Boulder County Jail facing a felony menacing charge.
Bond for Isaiah Nathaniel Smith has been set at $50,000 bond after his arrest Monday afternoon. Besides the felony menacing charge, Smith also faces two misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment and prohibited use for a weapon.
A witness told police that he was walking out of the store when he heard a gunshot. The witness saw two people shoving each other and one man holding a gun in his right hand, according to a police affidavit for an arrest warrant.
Another witness told the police that Smith fired the gun in the air and that no one was actually shot, the affidavit states.
Police looked at a store video that showed two parties arguing with each other in the store’s parking lot and at one time, a man in a white SUV brandishes a handgun and begins to wave it in the air and point it at a man from a pickup, the affidavit states.
The video does not show a gunshot or muzzle flash. But witnesses said, after the gun is fired, a female from the pickup attempts to get the man from the pickup away and the man from the pickup is pushed by both males from the white SUV, the affidavit states.
Officers canvassed the apartment complex at Zlaten Drive behind the Walmart and located a white Saturn Vue with Texas plates that matched the suspect vehicle in the video, the affidavit states. Officers found an empty handgun holster on the floorboard of the driver’s seat.
Police said a driver’s license photo shows that the man walking out of the store and possessing the handgun was Smith, the affidavit states.
