MURDER SUSPECT CHARGED
Denver District Attorney Bill
Ritter, Jr. has formally charged a man in connection with a
fatal shooting that occurred last weekend. 16-year-old Carold
Peoples died after being shot near Falcon Park at Maxwell and
Atchison Streets in Denver.
Christopher
Baldwin
(DOB: 3-14-83) is charged with first degree
murder (F-1).
The charge alleges that on April
17, 2004 Baldwin was involved in an earlier altercation with the
victim involving money. He allegedly fired at Peoples from his
car as the victim was standing outside. Denver police later
identified Baldwin as a suspect and he was taken into custody
without incident.
Baldwin is currently being held
in Denver County Jail with no bond. He is scheduled to appear
in Denver County Courtroom 12T on April 23, 2004 at 8:30 a.m.
for his formal advisement on the charges.
