in an attempt to locate a weapon and/or any other suspects, but were unsuccessful.
ACSO lab personnel responded to the scene to process the scene.
ACSO patrol deputies reported that the victim remained conscious and breathing, and is at a local hospital receiving treatment
for his stab wounds.
On 02/15/08, ACSO investigators were able to conduct numerous interviews simultaneously and were able to identify the stabbing
suspect. ACSO investigators, along with lab personnel, responded to a location where the suspect was staying, a local hotel,
but just missed the suspect by a couple of hours. However, they were able to process the room where the suspect had been
staying.
ACSO investigators were able to obtain an arrest warrant for the suspect with and on-call Arapahoe County judge. The information
investigators had at this point was that the suspect lived with another female down in Colorado Springs.
ACSO investigators faxed the arrest warrant to a Colorado Springs Police Department patrol sergeant, who established surveillance
on the possible location where the suspect had been staying.
On 02/19/08, Colorado Department of Corrections parole officers were able to make contact with the suspect at his Colorado
Springs residence and were able to place the suspect into custody on the active warrant out of Arapahoe County. The active
warrant was for Criminal Attempt-First Degree Murder, Felony Menacing and Second Degree Assault.
Department of Corrections parole officers were able to violate the suspect on his parole, due to the fact that the suspect
committed a new crime while he was already on parole.
On 02/19/08 ACSO Investigators responded to the Colorado Department of Corrections offices in Colorado Springs where investigators
recovered two knives and ammunition that was recovered from the suspect at the time of his arrest.
