Police have arrested a 22-year-old Longmont man on suspicion of first-degree murder in the Friday morning fatal shooting of a University of New Hampshire football player.
Officers arrested Kevin Michael McGregor while he was working at Which Wich Superior Sandwiches on University Hill late Friday, just blocks away from where he’s accused of killing 20-year-old Todd Walker.
According to Boulder police, he was walking with a female friend, Elizabeth Roach, to her house around 2 a.m. after attending parties on University Hill — including one that sparked a riot at 1555 Broadway. They were confronted at 10th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue by a man wearing a black bandanna over his face. Police say they think it was initially an attempted robbery, but after a verbal and physical confrontation, in which the woman pulled the bandanna off the assailant’s face, he brandished a gun and fired a shot into the air. McGregor then shot Walker and ran from the scene, according to police.
Walker was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
