~ Colorado Springs, CO - On September 3, 2026, the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) received a report of a bank robbery in the 1100 block of North Circle Drive at approximately 12:04 p.m. Shortly after, two more bank robberies were reported in the area - one in the 500 block of North Circle Drive and another in the 400 block of North Tejon Street.

The CSPD Robbery Unit quickly responded to all three locations and was joined by additional investigative units within the Metro Division and the FBI. Utilizing video surveillance from the banks, Axon Lightpost cameras, ALPR images, and witness accounts, investigators were able to identify a suspect and their vehicle. The suspect was later identified as 27-year-old Terrell Jennings.

Despite efforts to locate Jennings, he remained at large. However, investigators had gathered enough evidence to establish probable cause for his arrest on charges including second-degree kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and menacing.

Working closely with the FBI, CSPD initiated fugitive apprehension efforts. At approximately 7:24 p.m., officers were notified of a deceased individual found in the 2200 block of Lower Gold Camp Road. Upon arrival at the scene, officers discovered a vehicle matching Jennings' description and a male matching his physical appearance nearby. The male had sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound and was believed to be Jennings.

The El Paso County Coroner's Office was called to assist with the investigation into Jennings' death. On September 4, 2026, he was positively identified as Terrell Jennings. While the Coroner's Office is responsible for determining cause and manner of death, at this time it is being investigated as a suicide.

The investigation into these events is ongoing and active. The CSPD Robbery Unit continues to follow all leads in hopes of gaining further insight into what transpired on September 3, 2026.

Authorities are asking anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incidents to contact the Colorado Springs Police Department at 719-444-7000. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 719-634-STOP (7867) or 1-800-222-8477.
