Overview
- The collision happened around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday on East Colfax between Laredo Street and Chambers Road, where the adult male victim died at the scene and will be identified by the Adams County Coroner.
- Investigators say the pedestrian was crossing outside a crosswalk and that impairment is not suspected in the crash.
- Officers used Flock license-plate readers to trace a GMC SUV to a Denver address and contacted the suspected driver, 32-year-old Daryl Murray.
- Murray was booked on suspicion of leaving the scene, failing to notify police, and driving with a suspended license, and he is being held at the Aurora Detention Center on $20,000 bail.
- In a separate case, police are seeking a dark-colored Chevrolet sedan—likely an Impala, Malibu, or Cruze—with front passenger-side damage in an Oct. 1 fatal hit-and-run on East Hampden Avenue and urge tips to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
