A Colorado man celebrating the birthday of a friend at his gravesite was shot and killed by a fellow mourner when the victim said he started feeling sick and said he had to vomit on a nearby grave.

Ryan Trujillo-Falcon, 22, faces charges of first-degree murder, assault, and unlawfully carrying a concealed weapon in the death of Geano Eugene Chavez, 20, authorities said.

“These people were all known to each other. They went there together to visit the gravesite of someone that they all knew, who had just had a birthday,” Jefferson County Sheriff’s spokesperson Jacki Kelley told Denver Fox affiliate KDVR. “This is the first for me in my career that we’ve been dispatched to a cemetery that was in reference to the shooting of a person who ended up dying. The cemetery is a place that comforts people. Oftentimes, it’s a place to go visit someone that you’ve lost, but it’s not typically a place of violence.”
