Overview
- Greeley police arrested Debisa Ephraim, 21, on Wednesday after University of Northern Colorado police reported he was seen with a firearm at the Arlington Apartments residence hall.
- UNC said he was previously banned from campus and issued a safety alert following the Tuesday incident, asking students to secure doors and report concerns.
- Investigators reviewed surveillance and social media video that showed him inside the dorm displaying a firearm before leaving around 12:55 p.m. Tuesday, according to UNC police.
- UNC reported that no one was threatened or harmed during the incident, and multiple agencies, including UNC PD and the Weld County Sheriff's Office, assisted in the arrest.
- Earlier this month a court dismissed his pending case after he was found incompetent to stand trial and not restorable under HB23-1034, fueling a public dispute between Gov. Jared Polis and the Weld County district attorney over what the law allows.
