Fort Collins man suspected of attempted murder after kidnapping and pursuit

A Fort Collins man arrested this week for allegedly kidnapping an Aurora woman and leading law enforcement on a car chase down Interstate 25 has since been accused of involvement in a shooting last Friday.

A warrant was issued Thursday for Shane McSwane, 28, who is suspected of attempted murder in connection with the shooting that happened in the 1400 block of Reed Street in north Lakewood, according to court records and Lakewood Police Department spokesperson John Romero.

McSwane was arrested Monday by Pueblo County deputies, who crashed into his vehicle to end a nearly 30-mile pursuit after he allegedly carjacked an Aurora woman, forced her to touch him sexually and robbed a convenience store.

McSwane faces several felony charges for Monday’s incident, including second-degree motor vehicle theft, second-degree kidnapping, unlawful sexual contact and aggravated robbery.

He was being held at the Pueblo County Detention Facility as of Saturday afternoon.
