    [ad_1]

    More than two dozen law enforcement agencies conducted nine search warrants in coordination with one another Wednesday morning across the Front Range.

    The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office emphasized the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is not involved in this operation.

    The warrants were served in unincorporated Boulder and Adams Counties, and the cities of Denver, Westminster, Wheat Ridge, Federal Heights and Johnstown. However, the grand jury case originated out of the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.

    “Judicially approved warrants are being carried out as part of a Grand Jury investigation conducted by the District Attorney’s Office and local law enforcement,” the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release. “That criminal case will be prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Office. Once the indictments are unsealed and the appropriate individuals are in custody, the District Attorney’s Office will issue a press release and release the grand jury indictment.”

    Patrol, tactical, investigators and support personnel from more than two dozen law enforcement agencies began executing search warrants at 7 a.m. Wednesday at seven residences and two storage lockers.

    The SWAT operation in Commerce City closed E. 104th Ave. in both directions between Idalia Street and Landmark Drive, according to the city’s police department. Drivers were commended to find alternative routes until this area reopens.

  • Broomfield shooting suspect, victim lived in same apartment, property managers say

    Broomfield shooting suspect, victim lived in same apartment, property managers say

    The suspect in Thursday’s fatal hostage situation and shootout at Broomfield’s Arista Flats apartment complex and the woman he held hostage lived in the same apartment, property managers said.

    In an email to residents, Arista Flats management said the hostage and gunman lived together, but the relationship between the two is still unknown.

    “As you likely know, there was a domestic violence incident in our community early in the morning of Sept. 12, 2024, that involved a male resident firing shots inside and outside of a unit and injuring a female resident who resided in the same unit,” management wrote in the email. “The incident ended after a short stand-off with law enforcement and the resident was taken into custody.”

    The hours-long standoff with police at the Arista Flats complex ended with the death of the woman hostage and police taking a seriously injured gunman into custody.

    Police did not specify who shot the woman, but said Thursday at least one Broomfield officer fired his weapon at the suspect.

    Police have not publically identified the gunman and the woman he’d held hostage, but Broomfield Police Department spokeswoman Rachel Haslett said criminal charges against the 34-year-old suspect “are forthcoming.”

    Residents who were evacuated from Arista Flats during Thursday’s hostage situation and investigation can return home Friday, police said.

    The number of residents evacuated from the apartment complex was not available Friday.

    The south stairwell in building 15 of Arista Flats — 11332 Central Court — remains closed for the investigation, police said. Residents can use any other entrance.
