Denver police officers’ shooting of armed fugitive was justified, DA says

DENVER — Two Denver police officers were justified in their shooting of Vincent Martinez, 36, the Denver District Attorney’s Office said Thursday.

On March 2, Sgt. Marco Martinez and Technician Fred Jones, members of the Denver Police Department SWAT team, responded to a call to help the Denver Police Department Fugitive Unit and the Arvada Police Department Fugitive Unit with the arrest of the suspect near a Great Clips store.

Arvada police had been searching for Vincent Martinez, who was wanted on a first-degree murder warrant on suspicion of shooting a DoorDash delivery person in the face following a verbal altercation over a parking dispute on Feb. 27.
