Suspect sought in Denver homicide, police say

Denver police said they are searching for a 26-year-old man suspected of murder in an early October killing.

A judge issued a first-degree-murder arrest warrant for Gabriel Ortiz Trujillo, described as a 5-foot-6, 100-pound Latino man with brown eyes and brown hair, police said.

Police said the killing happened about 9:25 p.m. Oct. 3 in the 8600 block of East Colfax Avenue.

Officials didn’t specify which incident Trujillo is suspected in, but they previously reported a fatal stabbing near that area on that date.

Paramedics took the unidentified stabbing victim to a hospital, where the man later died, police said in an Oct. 4 update. He will be identified by the medical examiner’s office.
