A man who was fatally shot in a Thornton home has been identified by police.
The body of Alan Yukio Nakamura, 57, was found Wednesday afternoon in an upstairs hallway at 10973 Bellaire Way by police who were called there on a report of a burglary.
Mary Elaine Bradford, 59, who lived at the home with Nakamura, has been arrested on suspicion of first degree murder, said Matt Barnes, a Thornton police spokesman.
Nakamura was shot in the head with a small-caliber handgun, police said.
Another woman, who was not identified, also lived at the home, Barnes said.
Police did not disclose a motive, but the family of the victim has told investigators that he and Bradford “had not been getting along recently,” Barnes said.
Barnes described Bradford and Nakamura as roommates.
