(PUEBLO, Colo.) — The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) announced the arrest of a suspect in connection with the shooting death of a woman back in August in Pueblo’s Bessemer neighborhood.
According to PPD, detectives teamed up with the U.S. Marshals’ Colorado Violent Offender Task Force to arrest 20-year-old Alehandro Chacon earlier this week.
“During the investigation, Pueblo Police detectives gathered sufficient evidence to obtain an arrest warrant for Chacon,” according to PPD. After he was located by the U.S. Marshals Service on Wednesday, Sept. 3, at 5:30 p.m., Chacon was taken into custody.
Chacon was booked into the Pueblo County Jail and faces a charge of First-Degree Murder After Deliberation for the shooting death of 47-year-old Andrea Martinez on Aug. 14.
According to our previous coverage, on Aug. 14, police were called to the 1600 block of Spruce Street around 3:20 a.m. after reports of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found the victim dead from apparent gunshot wounds. Later that day, PPD stated that Chacon was wanted on charges of First-Degree Murder for the shooting.
Chacon remains in custody with a cash-only bond set at $1,000,000.
