The Denver Police Department has arrested Deangelo Luarks in connection to a November 3rd homicide on West Colfax Avenue. The incident led to the death of a 31-year-old male, who suffered a fatal gunshot wound. Luarks, born on November 12, 1984, is currently being held for investigation of first-degree murder following his arrest on November 15th, as reported by the City and County of Denver.
Police initially responded to the scene in the early hours of November 3rd, after receiving reports of a shooting around 2:34 a.m. Upon arrival, officers discovered the victim, his body bearing the severe language of a gunshot. He was quickly transported to a local hospital, and there, he was pronounced dead. According to the City and County of Denver, the arrest of Luarks followed his interaction with police during an unrelated investigation, when they executed a warrant out of another jurisdiction.
The case has been piecing together a narrative that suggests Luarks and the victim were engaged in a verbal altercation that tragically culminated in gunfire. The Denver District Attorney's Office has the weighty responsibility of deciding on the final charges, while the Office of the Medical Examiner is tasked with disclosing the victim's identity as well as the precise cause and manner of death.
