Justice for Anthony Padilla

The Issue

Anthony Padilla, a cherished father of 2 , family member and friend was tragically murdered in the Village East Apartment buildings' public 24 hr laundry mat in Colorado Springs, CO in which he was a resident. His life was taken by his neighbor, a self-proclaimed vigilante with a history of harassing and stalking Anthony and other residents of the complex. 

The neighbors unfounded claim that Anthony was breaking and entry and using the laundry mat illegally led to this senseless act of violence. He tried to hold Anthony captive in the laundry room  and when Anthony tried to leave he shot him in his back - an act that not only ended one life but also devastated many others .

This tragic event underscores the urgent need for justice to be served. It is unacceptable for individuals to take law enforcement into their own hands and commit such heinous acts without facing legal consequences.

We call upon local authorities in Colorado Springs to ensure that the suspected  neighbor is prosecuted for his actions. We demand justice for Anthony Padilla - a man whose life was cut short due to an unjustified act of violence.

Please sign this petition if you believe in justice being served and want to support our cause against vigilantism and unregulated use of force within our communities.
