Devan Schreiner found guilty in 2021 mail carrier's murder
A jury has found Devan Schreiner guilty of first-degree murder in the deadly shooting of a USPS postal worker in Longmont. The shooting happened Oct. 13, 2021 in the Somerset Meadows neighborhood.
Schreiner approached the mail carrier, later identified as Jason Schaefer, while he was at a group of neighborhood mailboxes on Heatherhill Street by Renaissance Drive, shot him several times and then ran off.
It was later revealed that Schreiner was the ex-girlfriend of Schaefer.
Schreiner was found guilty on Tuesday afternoon and immediately sentenced to life in prison without parole.
District Attorney Michael Dougherty stated, "This defendant is a cold-blooded murderer. She took steps to get away with this brutal murder, but she underestimated two things. First, the victim was very much loved by his family and co-workers; the information and support they provided was critical. Also, the US Postal Inspectors and Longmont detectives brought their best efforts and, along with our prosecution team, ensured justice was done. As always, we appreciate the time and service of the jurors."
