An arrest has been made in the deadly shooting of a USPS postal worker in Longmont. Police say they arrested the victim’s 26-year-old ex-girlfriend. Devan Schreiner, was arrested on charges of first-degree murder and is being held at the Boulder County Jail.

The fatal shooting happened at midday on Wednesday in the Somerset Meadows neighborhood. Police say a person approached the mail carrier, later identified as Jason Schaefer, while he was at a group of neighborhood mailboxes, shot him several times and then ran off. That suspect was reportedly last wearing dark clothing, a hooded sweatshirt and a blue mask. Schaefer died at the scene.

The FBI and the United States Postal Service joined Longmont police in the search for the suspect, which came to an end overnight.

“This crime appears to be an isolated incident and an act of domestic violence,” Longmont Deputy Police Chief Jeff Satur wrote in a press release. “We are withholding the arrest photo at this time, pending additional witness interviews.”

Satur did not elaborate on details of the relationship between Schreiner and the shooting victim. However, online public records indicate Schreiner was involved in an ongoing child custody dispute with a 33-year-old Longmont man. A motion in the dispute was filed Monday.

Longmont Shooting: Ex-Girlfriend Devan Schreiner Arrested In Mail Carrier's Murder

The suspect in Wednesday's fatal shooting of a mail carrier is from Fort Collins. Searches of Devan Schreiner's home are taking place, as well as at the Loveland home of an acquaintance of Schreiner's.

Devan Schreiner, 26, is accused of shooting him in the face as he delivered mail around 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday. She faces first-degree murder charges.

Around that time, a resident who lives on Sicily Circle called 911 to report that a postal worker was shot in their driveway and they had seen a person running southeast from the area, the affidavit says. That person was wearing a dark hoodie and a blue mask, according to the document.

Another home in the area had a camera outside that recorded four gunshots and a smaller dark vehicle traveling west on Heatherhill Street. The video also shows a person running southeast across that road.

The postmaster arrived at the scene of the shooting and immediately commented, "Did the baby mama do it," the affidavit says.

Two days before the shooting, the affidavit says, Schaefer filed court documents seeking to have his parenting time modified. Schreiner was supposed to be served with papers regarding that but, according to the affidavit, it's unclear if she had actually seen those documents.

An investigator learned through an interview that Schaefer had received threats from Schreiner and that Schaefer had messages and court paperwork at his home about those threats, the affidavit says.

The document also says that Schreiner had been fired from her work at the Longmont branch of the postal service about two weeks ago due to "an incident involving her and Jason." Schreiner, in turn, recently began working at the Loveland branch of the postal service.

Postal carriers are issued GPS-enabled scanning devices which constantly report GPS data to USPS servers, the affidavit says. Records were reviewed for Schreiner's device and there was an "extended time" when her device was stationary, which is unusual, according to the affidavit.

It's odd, all the awful crimes we read, but sometimes it's a "common" crime that delivers an unexpected gut-punch. This is one for me.

Schreiner and Schaeffer were embroiled in what appears to have been an escalating custody battle over their 5-year-old child. According to a report by local TV station KMGH, Schaefer had recently requested to modify the co-parenting agreement so that he would have more time and decision-making responsibility.

Court documents said: “Schreiner was not giving Schaefer her new address, was changing pickup times and locations, and that the child had been injured several times and exposed to COVID during Schreiner’s time with the child,” according to KMGH.

Schaefer claimed that Schreiner “refuses to co-parent the child, was not communicating about taking the child out of therapy and would not enroll the child in kindergarten,” KMGH reported. “Schaefer’s attorney asked the court to give Schaefer the majority of the parenting time and sole decision-making responsibilities.”

According to the affidavit for Schreiner’s arrest warrant, residents heard four shots shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Oct. 13, and a person wearing a dark hoodie was seen running from the location. Security footage linked Schreiner’s car to the location of the shooting, the affidavit said.

Schreiner had previously worked at the U.S. Postal Service in Longmont, but was fired about two weeks before the shooting because of “an incident,” according to the affidavit. Schreiner had recently started working at the USPS in Loveland.

GPS data showed that after the shooting, Schreiner’s USPS scanner, which is used to report location data to USPS servers throughout the day, was stationary for more than two hours around the time of the shooting, from around 11:00 a.m. to around 1:30 p.m., according to the affidavit. After that, the scanner started moving again, and was returned to its port at the Loveland postal office at around 4:30 p.m.

Schreiner, meanwhile, had told investigators that before noon that day, she had driven to the home of someone whose name is redacted from the affidavit. Schreiner said that she and this other person ate pizza rolls and drank water, according to the affidavit. Schreiner then said she and this person got into an argument, after which she went to her postal vehicle, sat in it and cried for a while, and then returned to work.

Schreiner told detectives she left work around 5:00 p.m. She was seen walking her dog in the area of her home at around 5:15 p.m., according to the affidavit. She called Longmont police at around 5:30 p.m., and then drove to the police station to speak with detectives, the affidavit said.

According to the affidavit, investigators visited an unidentified school, where they spoke with Schreiner’s sister, Rosa Shore. Rosa told investigators that Schreiner had threatened to shoot someone, although it’s unclear who, as names were redacted from that part of the affidavit.

Good job, Ms. Scheiner. Now neither of you has custody. I can only hope your sister is a better mother than you were. I'm just guessing that she is who will be taking the child.

Ms Scheiner .. you're a FAILURE on so many levels .. so many ..

A Colorado federal prison employee has been charged as an accomplice in the recent murder of a postal worker allegedly gunned down by his ex-girlfriend while delivering mail on his daily route.

Andrew Ritchie, 34, of Longmont, was taken into custody Tuesday at Englewood Federal Correctional Institution in Littleton, where he works, FOX 31 reported, citing an arrest affidavit released Wednesday. He was booked into Boulder County Jail on a charge of first-degree complicity to commit murder.

"I knew that she didn’t do this alone," Brandy Brackett, a U.S. Postal Service employee who has worked with Schaefer for many years, told FOX 31 following Ritchie’s arrest. "I knew there was somebody there supporting her in this decision. We really wanted him to be caught."
[....]
Investigators believe Schreiner and Ritchie were involved in a romantic relationship. Ritchie initially insisted that the two were just longtime friends, the affidavit says, but later allegedly admitted to the romantic affair after Ritchie was heard in a voice message uncovered from Schreiner’s phone telling her that he loved her earlier the day of the shooting, KMGH-TV reported.

Schreiner and Schaefer previously worked together at the Longmont Post Office, but Schreiner was fired two weeks before the shooting. She was also spotted entering the building without permission and going through Schaefer’s belongings but left before anyone confronted her, Longmont Daily Times-Call reported. Schreiner got a new job at as a U.S. postal carrier for the Loveland Post Office.

Ritchie later admitted to police when he dropped Schreiner off at work that morning he told her "today is the day," and "I have everything I need."

GPS from both of their phones showed them in the vicinity of Schaefer’s mail truck that day, and cameras from several houses in the neighborhood showed Ritchie’s vehicle following Schaefer along his delivery route. Ritchie allegedly told detectives he was on the phone with Schreiner multiple times before the shooting to try to convince her not to go through with it, claiming that he was following Schaefer in order to warn him.

He said Schreiner later called to say she had gone through with killing her ex-boyfriend. Police uncovered 9 mm ammunition next to a 1911 handgun in the console of Ritchie’s Chevy Silverado, affidavit says.

The woman accused of shooting her ex-boyfriend and the father of her child was found guilty of first-degree murder.

Devan Schreiner, 27, was found guilty by a Boulder County jury of first-degree murder after deliberation in the death of Jason Schaefer, 33.

Because the charge carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole, Boulder District Judge Patrick Butler proceeded immediately to sentencing and ordered Schreiner to spend the rest of her life in the Colorado Department of Corrections.

Schreiner did not address the court.

Just a petty detail, but I don't get it: Schreiner was fired from her job at one Post Office, but was then hired by another?
