A man was shot to death Tuesday night in a Westminster motel off of Interstate 25, police said.
Westminster officers responded to the Super 8 motel near West 120th Avenue and North Melody Drive just after 10 p.m. Tuesday,, department spokesperson Samantha Spitz said.
When they arrived, officers found a man inside who had been shot, according to a from the police department. Paramedics took him to a hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Investigators believe two men started a fight in a motel room that escalated into the shooting. Neither man’s identity has been released.
The surviving man was arrested Tuesday night but was released after “new information was revealed about the events of that evening,” police said.
That information was not released Wednesday. But police said officers were not searching for any additional suspects and there was no active threat to the community.
The man killed in the motel will be identified by the Adams County coroner’s office.
