Following a determined manhunt that spanned states, Fort Collins Police Services (FCPS) announced the apprehension of Tylen Michael Grays, a suspect in a fatal Old Town shooting that took place on August 11. The incident left one, Keiter Baez Morales, dead and another injured. According to a statement from the FCPS, linked to their Press Release website, detectives were able to identify Grays with help from public tips and surveillance footage from a local business.

The investigation, which has been thorough and intense, has led to Grays' arrest in Michigan. His capture was achieved through collaboration with the US Marshal’s Office in Detroit, on Tuesday, September 10. FCPS Chief Jeff Swoboda emphasized the toll of the event on everyone involved, "It is important to note that the actions of a single individual have permanently altered the lives of several victims, their families, and our community," as reported by the FCPS.

The charges filed against Grays are severe, including First Degree Murder and Attempted Murder, among other felonies and misdemeanors. He currently awaits the extradition process to return to Colorado to face these allegations. The FCPS has reassured that even with Grays in custody, the investigation will press on to ensure it is complete and exhaustive.
