AURORA | Aurora police have announced the arrests of two men for their roles in the fatal shooting of a 31-year-old man in July.
Investigators on Tuesday announced that authorities in Georgia have arrested Dontavious Hetzel, 28, on suspicion of being an accessory to first-degree murder related to the killing.
Hetzel is awaiting extradition from Georgia to face his criminal charges in Colorado.
Police also announced the arrest of the man accused of pulling the trigger in the shooting death of 31-year-old Percil Walls of Memphis, Tennessee in the early morning hours of July 5. The shooting occurred near 1517 Beeler St. in north Aurora, according to the Adams County Coroner’s Office.
Master Titus Uriah Martin, 20, had eluded authorities for several months after the killing, despite Aurora police obtaining a warrant for his arrest in early July.
He was arrested on said warrant in September, police confirmed Tuesday. It’s unclear where he was apprehended and whether he is currently detained. County records indicate he is currently in neither the Adams County nor the Arapahoe County detention centers.
Interesting arrests.
