Way to go Pueblo East Side

Man stabbed after threat
A 43-year-old man was stabbed during an attempted robbery while he walked early Saturday on the East Side, according to police.
The victim was stabbed in the lower left abdomen, according to officer Gary Wyberg's report. He also suffered slashes across his left hand.
The incident happened about 1 a.m. between the White Horse Inn and 7-Eleven convenience store on Fourth Street, Wyberg said.
The victim said he was confronted by two suspects, a Hispanic man and a black man, who demanded his money and threatened to kill him, Wyberg said. The black man brandished a knife after the victim refused, then reportedly stabbed him.
Both suspects are described as being about 6 feet tall with medium builds and about 25 years old.
The Hispanic man was wearing a brown and red shirt with black pants. The black suspect was wearing a white shirt and black pants.
The victim's medical condition was not available late Saturday.

Teens to stand trial in death
By PATRICK MALONETHE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
Two teens with suspected gang ties have been ordered to stand trial for the shooting death of a woman in August.
District Judge Dennis Maes ruled Monday that probable cause exists for Michael Highelk, 18, and Phillip Castro, 17, to stand trial on charges of first-degree murder for the death of 21-year-old Jamie Ruybal.
Highelk is accused of driving a car carrying Castro, when Castro allegedly fired a shot from a 9 mm handgun that struck Ruybal as she stood in the driveway of a house in the 2500 block of Fifth Avenue early on the morning of Aug. 19. Both defendants have been charged as adults.
Highelk is in jail in lieu of $750,000 bail. Castro, who faces an additional charge of possession of a weapon by a previous offender, is in jail with bail set at $1 million.
Highelk reportedly told police rival gang members outside of the house where the shooting took place shouted at him and Castro, flashed gang signs at them and pounded on Highelk's car as they drove past, prompting Castro to shoot.
Witnesses told police the car passed the home once, then made a U-turn and returned before the fatal shot was fired.
