COLORADO SPRINGS — Prosecutors say a hunt for drug dealers who sold an ex-college official a bag of dirt for $600 instead of heroin led to a slaying in a church parking lot.
The Gazette reports that Michael Berkowitz, 63, is the former director of enrollment for the University of Phoenix and owns a jewelry store in Aspen. A judge Friday ordered that he stand trial on charges that include murder and kidnapping in the June 30 death of Matthew Moore, 27.
Prosecutors say that Berkowitz and his bodyguard kidnapped Moore and gunned him down at Calvary Baptist Church. Berkowitz told investigators that Rodrigo Rubio, 23, was the triggerman.
