STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — The 22-year-old man who was found dead in the Yampa River Monday after running from police had recently moved to Steamboat Springs to work in the information technology industry.
Fresh out of college, Arman T. Qureshi had been doing contract IT work for SmartWool since January.
“Itap definitely tough,” Smartwool spokeswoman Molly Cuffe said of Qureshi’s death. “Obviously, our prayers go out to the family and everyone who was involved.”
Routt County Coroner Rob Ryg said an autopsy was pending, and it would take some time to determine how Qureshi died.
Before he ran from officers, Qureshi was being investigated as a suspect in a report of an attempted purse theft downtown, according to Police Chief Cory Christensen.
