Delta, Colorado — On October 10, 2023, Delta Police Department Officers were dispatched to 157 Bert Street in Delta. The reporting party reported that there was a “strange man” in her driveway who had gone through a window of a house and then exited the back door. Because there was confusion about the address, Officer Mark Bowen was the first to arrive and make contact with 43-year-old Jeremy Kuzov. Kuzov approached Bowen’s patrol car and said, “you know I’m gonna be sorry here soon.” Bowen asked, “you’re going to be sorry?” and “what do you mean?” Kuzov backed up against Bowen’s patrol vehicle and said, “what are you getting on me for?” and “This b***h just fu****g killed my kid.” Kuzov appeared highly agitated. He and was running his hands through his hair, crossing his arms, breathing deeply, and opening and closing his mouth in an unusual manner. Officer Bowen asked, “okay, so why are you going into the house?” and Kuzov responded, “because I was looking for my daughter.”

Bowen attempted to place Kuzov in handcuffs and he exclaimed “no” and started to back up. Bowen drew his taser and Kuzov charged at Bowen and simultaneously attempted to grab the taser and throw punches at Bowen, hitting him in the head at least once. Kuzov deployed his taser probes and discharged it multiple times without effect. Kuzov continued charging and kicking at Bowen and they headed south down Bert Street. Bystander P.O. attempted to contact and calm Kuzov down causing Kuzov to back onto the sidewalk. Bowen pulled his firearm and ordered Kuzov to put his hands in the air and to get on the ground. Kuzov ignored these commands and started moving back toward 157 Bert Street and in front of an R.V. parked in the driveway. Kuzov continued to act aggressively saying things like “I’m gonna light this mother fu***r up” as he gestured toward Bowen and “f*** you!” Eventually, Kuzov appeared to comply and put his hands on his head. Bowen was extremely close to Kuzov when he rapidly dropped his hands and turned to run away from Bowen.

Bowen fired his weapon hitting Kuzov in the back. As Kuzov leaned against the R.V., Bowen ran to Kuzov and tried to restrain him. Kuzov continued to struggle with Bowen, forcing Bowen to take him to the ground. While doing this, Bowen radioed dispatch to send an ambulance. Other officers arrived and placed Kuzov into custody before medics arrived and transported Kuzov to the hospital. His father last year said Kuzov had to spend time on a ventilator and in ICU. According to Kuzov’s medical records he was diagnosed with a gunshot wound to the chest, resulting in “multiple left rib fractures” and a “contusion of lung”, but “no intra-abdominal injury.” According to his toxicology screen, Kuzov tested positive for Amphetamines, Methamphetamines, Opiates, and Benzodiazepines. Bowen’s conduct was legally justified under self-defense, defense of others and mistake of fact, the DA said. “The District Attorney’s Office will not file criminal charges against Officer Mark Bowen for his justified use of force against Jeremy Kuzov.”
