Denver District
Attorney Bill Ritter Jr. has formally charged a man in
connection with a fatal car accident in Denver.

Romero (08-31-48) is charged with
Vehicular Homicide (F3) and DUI.
On July 18, 2004

allege that Romero was traveling eastbound on Alameda at a

impact caused a chain reaction involving three other vehicles.
The charges also allege that Romero was driving under the
influence of alcohol when the accident occurred. Devries was
taken to Denver Health Medical Center where she was later
pronounced dead.
Ramon remains in
Denver County Jail. His bond is set at $75,000. He will appear
for his Second Advisement on July 26, 2004 at 9:00 a.m. in
