Wilkinson stated that she was in dread for her life since the man who claimed Rios Gonzalez pointed a gun at him was the true attacker. A report from the Fort Lupton Police Department states that he confessed “brake checking” Rios Gonzalez during their interaction.
The district attorney’s office stated that all three accused were issued a summons but not arrested. No preliminary court dates have been scheduled for them.
