Prosecutors are pursuing his extradition from California.

Overview

  • Denver District Attorney John Walsh and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced the seven-count indictment of Andrew Dominguez, 36.
  • Charges include violating the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act, two counts of attempted pimping, two counts of criminal impersonation, extortion, and tampering with a victim or witness.
