DENVER (KDVR) — Voters in Mountain View made their opinions known in a special election to recall town council member Brent Metz, voting overwhelmingly to relieve him of the position.
Metz, 39, was charged with second-degree assault, illegal discharge of a firearm and two counts of felony menacing in September 2024 after he allegedly shot a 17-year-old boy in the face. Metz has not entered a plea for any of the charges.
A petition requesting the recall election for Metz was circulated in January.
On Tuesday, FOX31 learned that the preliminary, unofficial election results show 127 people voting to recall Metz, with 72 voting to allow him to keep his position on the town council. Metz has been a Mountain View town council member since at least 2021.
The shooting is alleged to have happened on Sept. 10, 2024, in the 23000 block of Pleasant Park Road. The two teenagers involved in the incident told the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office they had hopped a fence to go talk to the homeowner of a property associated with Metz because they were looking for a spot to take homecoming photos.
The teens knocked on the front door, and received no answer, so they walked part of the property to try and locate someone. Police said that during this, a resident of the home called police to report the boys, and also called her boyfriend, Metz.

While charges were filed against Metz, the sheriff’s office said the teens would not face charges because there did not appear to be any malicious intent.
Metz is scheduled to appear in court for a pretrial conference on June 23. He posted a $5,000 personal recognizance bond on Sept. 11, 2024.
