I work in the office building and yesterday it seemed evident that a body had been found in the open space east of the building. Lots of uniformed police were here early, a white windowless van pulled up, marked police cars left and apparent forensic teams moved in.

I left the office before anything was removed but I've heard rumors (and it seemed obvious at the time) that a body had been found.

EDIT: Boulder County Sheriff's Office

> On Monday, May 11, 2026, at approximately 10:30 a.m., Boulder County Communications received a 911 call reporting a deceased person in a field approximately 300 yards east of the Medtronic building off Medtronic Drive in Lafayette. The scene is in unincorporated Boulder County near Rock Creek Trail.

> Members of the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Detective Bureau, Boulder County Coroner’s Office, Lafayette Police Department and Boulder County Parks and Open Space Rangers responded and remain on scene investigating.

> There is no known threat to the public.

> The investigation is being conducted jointly by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office and the Boulder County Coroner’s Office. The Coroner’s Office will determine the cause and manner of death.

> This case is documented under Boulder County Sheriff’s Office case number 26-02163.

Ran into this project on the Broomfield Voice page:

I live near this area and was surprised to see *another* car service shop proposed. There is already a huge cluster of them right near King Soopers, and it is slated to pop almost directly next to Starbucks.

In 5 years, is this entire stretch going to be banks, hospitals (Children's, proposed UC Health, proposed AdventHealth), and car service shops?

When they get proposed individually, they all make sense... but together, it seems like we're putting together one wonky-ass stretch of road.

Come learn about the incident command system and tested tools for flexible response to incidents and emergencies!

This system is used by all emergency services, law enforcement agencies and military. It allows for a rapid and organized response that is flexible to any incident and can tailored quickly. It comes with a set of tools such as job action sheets that designate specific tasks/functions, identification and safety procedures, etc. These methods can also be used to break up long responses into operational periods. We’ll also be covering communication tools to aid in verification of information, pathways of information, and clear language. This structure is how ICE and other migra agencies are supposed to function. This knowledge will also make identifying their different roles easier on a scene and allow confirmers or responders to know who is ideal for them to try to talk to.

You can RSVP on our encrypted form here so we can send you the link to the training and a follow up email with materials from the training. This also helps give us an idea of the number of attendees even if you choose not to share personal information! We understand that people are hesitant to share their personal information so we do not require registration to attend. You can just click the zoom link provided in the details section at 6pm on April 24th. You are not required to be logged into an email address to attend the training.

This training is virtual only and presented by We Keep Us Safe: El Pueblo Unido Contra ICE. We Keep Us Safe is a grassroots initiative to help the metro Denver area organize proactively and effectively to protect our community members from being inhumanely kidnapped by ICE. We are developing a hub of resources and best practices targeted towards the Denver area, but many of the resources are statewide. This can be found on our website wkus-co.org! We are educating and activating community members through canvassing, training, and outreach. Our goal is to support interested volunteers across the Denver area in building community and solidarity–and to support volunteers in effectively self-organizing in the face of state violence.
