11-1-2008 Colorado:
A man who allegedly killed two people at a 2005 Halloween party in west Denver was charged today with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted first-degree murder.
The charges allege that Rodolfo Gonzales, 28, participated in the shooting that left best friends Ted Guerra and Isaiah Roybal dead.
The two friends, who were 21 at the time they died, were at a Halloween party in the 2000 block of King Street on Oct. 30, 2005, when two uninvited men were told to leave.
The two party crashers started shooting, killing Guerra and Roybal, and seriously injuring a third man.
Gonzales was arrested earlier this week in California under an alias in an unrelated drug case.
Police in Redondo Beach identified him through fingerprints and found he was wanted in Denver for a 2003 assault case and the 2005 murders.
Gonzales' alleged accomplice, Martin Herrera, was acquitted of two counts of murder with extreme indifference and one count of first-degree assault in May 2007. Jurors found Herrera guilty of third-degree assault, and he was sentenced to two years in prison.
Gonzales remains in custody in California pending extradition. ..News Source.. by Howard Pankratz:
