Man Faces 1st-Degree Murder Charges For Death At Transient Camp On Halloween
AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - A man has been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of a man in Aurora on Halloween night.
Aurora police spokesperson Officer Crystal McCoy said Richard Alan Darling, 34, is currently being held at Arapahoe County Jail with no bond.
The body was found late Saturday night in a field next to a creek that runs between the 1000 Block of Interstate 225 and North Potomac Street.
When officers arrived at the scene they found several people in the field where the body was, and they indicated that some or all of those people may be "of the transient population."
On Sunday there was a big police presence at the crime scene.
"Anytime we have a grid search it takes a lot of people to do it quickly and effectively so we can take advantage of the daytime before the weather comes in," McCoy said.
