Arapahoe County investigators are searching for suspects after a woman was found shot to death in a remote area east of the Denver area last week, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies conducting a welfare check at 8 a.m. on Jan. 29 in unincorporated Arapahoe County found the woman’s body, sheriff’s officials said in a post on X. Her death is being investigated as a homicide.
Arapahoe County Coroner Kelly Lear identified the woman killed as 25-year-old Zacoria Maelan Moore. Moore died from a gunshot wound, according to the coroner’s office.
