A second suspect in a deadly shooting at Wolff Run Park was arrested Tuesday after a chase and police shooting that shut down Interstate 70 in Eagle County, Westminster police said Wednesday.
Charity Louise Johnson, 35, was arrested in Eagle County on suspicion of first-degree murder and booked into the Adams County jail late Tuesday, according to jail records.
Investigators identified Johnson and Kenny Espinosa, 27, as suspects after police found a man dead with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of Wolff Run Park on Saturday morning. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots and seeing a car drive away from the park overnight.
Espinosa was arrested Tuesday after he shot at and fled from Eagle County deputies when they stopped his vehicle using spike strips. The manhunt to find him shut down Interstate 70 through Glenwood Canyon for several hours.
Westminster police previously released an incorrect spelling of Espinosa’s last name and corrected the spelling Wednesday.
Espinosa was taken to a hospital “for medical clearance” after his arrest and will be booked into the Adams County jail when he’s released, Westminster police said.
One person was shot by Eagle County sheriff’s deputies during the initial confrontation Tuesday, but the sheriff’s office confirmed that person was not Espinosa.
The investigation is ongoing, and the 17th Judicial District will determine official charges in the case.
