The incident came to light Sunday when Halsey flagged down a Denver Fire Department crew at a Wheat Ridge grocery store and said he had hurt someone, police said.
Wheat Ridge police responded, interviewed Halsey and notified Denver police of a possible crime at a Denver residence. Denver police then and found a woman’s body.
The name of the victim will be released by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.
