MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER IN WEEKEND SHOOTING

 

Denver District Attorney Bill Ritter, Jr. filed numerous felony charges today against a man involved in a fatal shooting last weekend at 1050 Quitman Street in Denver.

 

28-year-old Larry Vigil (DOB: 9-27-74) is charged with first-degree murder with extreme indifference (F1), first-degree murder after deliberation (F1), attempted first-degree murder (F2), first-degree assault (F3), second-degree kidnapping (F3), felony menacing (F5), eluding (F5), and violation of a restraining order (M1).

 

The charges allege that Vigil tried to force his wife at gunpoint to leave the house at 1050 Quitman Street, and then shot and wounded 15-year-old Rose Martinez and fatally shot 19-year-old Michael Pacheco.  The charges also allege that he tried to elude Denver police officers before he was finally taken into custody.

 

Vigil remains in the Denver County Jail where he is being held without bond.  He is scheduled to appear in Denver County Court, room 12T, on Friday, May 23, 2003 at

9 a.m. to be formally advised of the charges.
