James Russell Vogel, 69, and Angelica Vogel, 59, are charged with false imprisonment of an at-risk adult and two counts of attempting to influence a public servant, all felonies, and three counts of misdemeanor caretaker neglect, according to court records.

The Vogels ran All Saints Home Care out of their home at 6512 S. Lisbon Court, which an archived version of the facility’s since-wiped website describes as “luxury assisted living and memory care for Alzheimer’s & dementia in Aurora and Centennial
 Compassionate senior living you can trust.”

According to the indictment, the Vogels “mistreated, neglected and restrained elderly residents in their care” and gave false information to officials from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and Arapahoe County Adult Protective Services, hindering the investigation.

On Nov. 18, 2025, a 69-year-old woman living at the facility was left alone long enough that she climbed through a second-story window and became stranded on the roof with her legs dangling over the edge. The incident was recorded on an and shared on the sheriff’s office’s Facebook page.

A person connected to the woman learned about the incident after it was shared on social media and went to the house on Nov. 22, 2025. When no one answered the door, they went around back and saw her restrained in a wheelchair, upset and crying, according to the indictment.

The woman was “tied into the wheelchair by a harness which appeared to be secured by a zip tie,” and the person was able to get into the house through an unlocked sliding glass door, free the woman and remove her from the home.

In another incident, a man’s family removed him from All Saints in February after they were contacted by Adult Protective Services about concerns at the facility.

The man’s family took him to the hospital, and a forensic nurse examination found he had bruises on his chest, arms and other parts of his body; was wearing multiple diapers; had dried feces on him; and was extremely thin.

When the family picked up a bag of the man’s medications from Angelica Vogel, they found prescriptions for other residents mixed in and one container with different pills than what was on the label.

The sheriff’s office first posted about the investigation on Saturday.

“As part of the investigation, on July 17, several residents were relocated from the home and are receiving care elsewhere while the investigation continues,” sheriff’s officials wrote in a news release. “Investigators are working to identify individuals who may have received concerning care at the facility.”

Anyone with information about the case can contact ACSOTips@arapahoegov.com or call 720-874-8477.

The Vogels did not respond to an email seeking comment about the case. They were both released from jail on $75,000 bail and are set to appear in court on Sept. 14, court records show.

Head coach Sean Payton said the Broncos have excused Cooper after the outside linebacker’s second arrest last Thursday on multiple charges that he violated a protection order after his initial arrest on June 4 following a physical altercation with his girlfriend.

“He’s taking this time, obviously,” Payton said. “The club is very much in tune to the league office, local authorities here, and we’ve had several meetings. Clearly from an ownership standpoint, head coach, organizationally — there’s a bar that we have, and an expectation that we have, that¶¶Òőap very high. We’ll consider all of that as we continue to gather the information.”

In total, Cooper is facing five active charges in Douglas County District Court, including felony second-degree assault by strangulation, misdemeanor third-degree assault, misdemeanor criminal mischief, misdemeanor harassment, and misdemeanor violation of a protection order.

A source with knowledge of the situation told The Post that Cooper isn’t around the building in any capacity.

Payton acknowledged that “we all know the logistics” and declined to answer further follow-up questions about Cooper having meetings with team brass before his second arrest.

“I don’t think it’s my place to comment any more right now,” Payton said, “because, obviously, it’s a pretty significant issue.”

If found guilty of criminal assault in an NFL investigation, Cooper could face a baseline suspension of six games, with the number of games increasing or decreasing depending on the NFL’s findings. Payton’s mention of the organizational “bar” marks the first time any team official has hinted at potential consequences for Cooper since his June 4 arrest. The Broncos haven’t dealt with a similar legal case involving a player since owners Greg Penner and Carrie Walton Penner took the reins in 2022.

“I mean, he’s our brother at the end of the day, and we all rally behind Coop,” Broncos All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II said Tuesday. “And we just wish him the best with everything. But, just keeping him in good spirits.”

According to arrest affidavits, Cooper and his girlfriend got into an argument over allegations of infidelity at his Parker apartment on June 4. The felony second-degree assault by strangulation charge was added by the district attorney’s office following a forensic examination on Cooper’s girlfriend that same night by a nurse at Anschutz Medical Center in Aurora. The nurse concluded that Cooper’s girlfriend sustained “strangulation with hypoxia and traumatic brain injury,” and suffered “substantial risk of death.”

Cooper’s girlfriend was also arrested June 4 by Parker Police for her role in the incident on suspicion of domestic violence and a misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief. On Tuesday, a Douglas County judge granted the DA’s office’s motion to dismiss charges against Cooper’s girlfriend.

The 28-year-old Cooper is set to make $12 million in 2026, according to OverTheCap, and has two more years remaining on a four-year, $60 million contract extension signed in November 2024. He played the ninth-most snaps of any Broncos defender in 2025, and finished second on the team in sacks.

Cooper has a hearing on advisement — where he’ll hear the total sum of charges against him — in Douglas County court Wednesday afternoon. His case is expected to proceed to a jury trial, currently slated to begin July 22.

Andrews, 42, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor and was sentenced to 10 days in jail, which will be served at home, 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Eric Ross said.

The Denver District Attorney’s Office was the special prosecutor assigned to the case, and prosecutors dismissed another misdemeanor DUI charge and two traffic infractions as part of the plea agreement.

A district court judge also sentenced Andrews to 12 months on probation and 48 hours of community service.

The councilman was arrested by Aurora police after he was seen driving erratically near South Chambers Road and South Chambers Circle the night of Jan. 17.

Andrews told officers he was trying to find his son’s car to jump-start it, but the officers noticed he smelled of alcohol and had pink, watery eyes, police wrote in an arrest report.

He agreed to a breathalyzer test, which showed his breath alcohol level was .252, more than three times the legal limit of .08 for driving under the influence in Colorado.

In a statement after his arrest, Andrews said he took full responsibility and apologized.

Andrews’s attorney, Danny Luneau with the Denver firm Fife Luneau, on Tuesday reiterated that Andrews takes full responsibility for what happened and believes this is the appropriate resolution.

Rajon Belt-Stubblefield, 37, was killed by Officer Matthew Neely on Aug. 30 after Neely tried to pull him over for speeding near East Sixth Avenue and Sable Boulevard. Aurora police said Belt-Stubblefield crashed into two vehicles while trying to evade the stop.

In the wake of the shooting, Police Chief Todd Chamberlain blamed Belt-Stubblefield for the confrontation, highlighting that he tossed a gun into the grass after he got out of his car, did not follow police orders and continued to walk toward Neely.

But Belt-Stubblefield’s family has said Neely’s body camera shows Neely first initiated the confrontation by grabbing Belt-Stubblefield by the back of the neck to try to take him to the ground.

Family members previously said they intend to sue the city for Belt-Stubblefield’s death.

The on Friday said the case is being referred to a grand jury for further investigation.

The 18th Judicial District¶¶Òőap Critical Incident Response Team has completed an investigation, and the district attorney’s office reviewed those records, agency officials said.

Colorado district attorneys usually publish to explain why they are or are not filing criminal charges against the involved officers, including whether an officer’s use of force was justified legally .

“The grand jury is a separate and independent investigative body,” the said Friday. “It will review evidence, conduct any additional investigation it deems appropriate, and ultimately determine whether probable cause exists for the filing of formal criminal charges.”

The Aurora Police Department has come under increased scrutiny in recent weeks, with the City Council narrowly passing a measure to limit the publication of booking photos and require city approval for the agency’s social media posts and news releases.

And an independent monitor who oversees court-ordered reforms to the department on Wednesday called for city officials to review three recent police shootings in which officers killed people who were experiencing a mental health crisis.

The federal complaint comes after Lewis’ family filed a state lawsuit in Arapahoe County last year against both the city of Aurora and SWAT officer Michael Dieck, who fatally shot 37-year-old Lewis. Aurora was later removed from the state complaint, but the claims against Dieck will proceed to trial in March 2027, court records show.

That lawsuit alleges that Dieck’s use of force against Lewis was unconstitutional, and that his “willing and wanton” conduct counts as assault and battery causing wrongful death.

The two lawsuits are like parallel train tracks, said Lisi Owen, one of four attorneys representing Lewis’ estate. They were both sparked by the same police shooting, but one is seeking justice for the individual incident and the other aims to create systemic change, she said.

“The problem is, it¶¶Òőap not just a couple of bad apples causing police violence in this country,” Owen said. “The barrel is rotten.”

That doesn’t mean all police officers are corrupt, Owen said, but that the system in place is flawed and being propped up by cities and their police departments.

“The city needs to do something about this,” she said. “They absolutely cannot let this go on. 
 We plan to hold them accountable just as much as Michael Dieck.”

Owen is joined in representing Lewis’ estate on the lawsuit by Brad Irwin with Irwin Fraley LLP, and by Dale Galipo and Benjamin Levine with The Law Offices of Dale K. Galipo in Los Angeles.

As of Friday, the city of Aurora had not been served in the new lawsuit, spokesperson Ryan Luby said. City officials do not comment on pending litigation, Luby said.

Aurora Police Department spokesperson Gabby Easterwood also said the department does not normally comment on pending litigation.

Lewis was shot and killed by Dieck on May 23, 2024, during an attempted arrest. He was a suspect in a separate Denver shooting and wanted on investigation of attempted murder, police said.

Aurora law enforcement surveilled Lewis for roughly two days before the shooting, according to the federal lawsuit. The officers knew where he was, knew what he was doing and knew he was unarmed, the lawsuit alleges.

SWAT officers swarmed Lewis in the parking lot near his apartment, weapons drawn and shouting overlapping commands to get on the ground and show his hands, according to body-worn camera video released by the police department. Lewis attempted to comply, turning toward Dieck and beginning to lower himself to the ground when he was shot, according to the lawsuit.

“He was only holding a cell phone and snack food,” the lawsuit stated. “He was not armed. He was not taking a shooting stance. He was not fleeing. He was not charging. He did not threaten anyone. He did not pose an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to Officer Dieck or anyone else.”

Dieck shot Lewis in the abdomen less than 10 seconds after exiting his police vehicle and “did not issue any warning that he would shoot if Mr. Lewis did not comply,” the document stated. The officer did not give Lewis time to understand and comply with the overlapping orders and did not use readily available “less-lethal force” options, such as a baton launcher, the lawsuit alleges.

Arapahoe County District Attorney John Kellner ruled that Dieck’s use of force was justified in an . Dieck “reasonably believed there was an imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury,” Kellner wrote.

An internal review conducted by the Aurora Police Department, which included Aurora’s independent consent decree monitor, determined that Dieck had not violated department policy.

The lawsuit claims the city of Aurora failed to properly train, supervise and discipline officers, and alleges the department¶¶Òőap policies and customs were the “moving force behind the violation” of Lewis’ Fourth Amendment rights.

Aurora city officials knew about the police department¶¶Òőap “systemic problems” — including excessive force and training issues — before the deadly shooting, the lawsuit stated.

At the time of the shooting, the Aurora Police Department was already under a , which was enacted after an investigation by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office revealed a pattern of racially biased policing and routine use of excessive force in Aurora. The department will remain under that decree until approximately February 2027.

“The Lewis shooting is precisely the kind of predictable constitutional injury that adequate policies, training, supervision, discipline, and force-review systems are supposed to prevent,” the lawsuit stated.

Officers rushed the process, issued conflicting demands, failed to de-escalate and treated Lewis’ non-threatening movement toward compliance as justification for deadly force — all actions contrary to the reform that was supposed to be underway in the department, the lawsuit alleges.

Extensive changes were made to the police department¶¶Òőap SWAT procedures after the fatal shooting, including “a more rigorous approval process” for warrants, a new risk-assessment matrix, weapons concerns and training enhancements, according to the lawsuit.

“The scope of those changes demonstrates that, at the time of the Lewis shooting, APD’s existing SWAT policies 
 were inadequate,” the lawsuit against the city of Aurora stated.

The lawsuit alleges that Aurora’s “official policies, longstanding customs, practices, decisions, and omissions” led to Dieck violating Lewis’ Fourth Amendment rights. That includes allowing Aurora police officers to escalate encounters through “sudden shows of overwhelming force,” failing to ensure the consent monitor reforms were implemented in practice instead of only on paper, allowing officers to use deadly force without reasonable warning and failing to require meaningful investigation into and discipline for excessive or deadly force, according to the lawsuit.

Aurora officials also failed to properly train officers on threat assessments, de-escalation, warnings and the constitutional limits on deadly force, the lawsuit alleges. The complaint claims that city officials were “deliberately indifferent” to the “known and obvious” consequences of its allegedly subpar training, supervision and discipline.

The Aurora Police Department then justified Dieck’s actions by clearing him in the internal investigation, according to the lawsuit.

As of Sunday evening, no hearings had been scheduled for the federal case.

Robert Dial, 62, won $22 million in economic damages and another $2 million for pain and suffering after he sued former Detective Shannon Brukbacher over his 2022 arrest on felony charges of tampering with evidence, his attorneys David Maxted and Kathryn Stimson said Tuesday.

The criminal charges were dismissed five months after Dial’s arrest, but not before he lost his job and reputation, the attorneys said. They sued Brukbacher in 2024 and the jury delivered a verdict late Monday after a five-day trial in Douglas County District Court.

“This is vindication for him,” Maxted said of Dial. “This basically completely clears him and indicates she maliciously prosecuted him and is liable for what happened.”

Brukbacher’s attorneys did not return requests for comment Tuesday.  A spokesman for the Parker Police Department did not return a request for comment. Andy Anderson, communications manager for the town, said in a statement that the town is reviewing the case and considering whether to appeal.

“While the Town is disappointed with the verdict, we respect the judicial process,” Anderson said in the statement. “However, we believe the evidence presented in the case warranted a different outcome.”

Jurors considered Dial’s lost earnings as an investment manager to reach the $24 million mark, Maxted noted.

“The Town of Parker had a city attorney there throughout the trial,” he said. “So they have known this is a big problem and there has just been a refusal to take accountability. So we had to have a jury trial. And a jury did what juries do: They found her accountable.”

The case began on Feb. 15, 2022, when Dial’s son, Cameron Dial, got into a confrontation with his roommates at the Stone Canyon apartments on Cottonwood Drive. Cameron Dial shot both roommates, killing one man and wounding a woman.

Cameron Dial lives with a “significant learning disability,” and often relies on Robert Dial for help with daily living, according to the lawsuit. He called his father in a panic and confessed to the shooting immediately after the attack. Robert Dial was in New Jersey at the time, but told his son to call for help. Robert Dial also said he’d hire an attorney for his son and went on to do so.

Robert Dial spoke with Brukbacher later that day and told the detective he’d hired an attorney. Dial’s son declined to speak with police until he first spoke with his attorney. Brukbacher became irritated by the development and continued to try to get information from Robert Dial about the incident, urging him to “be an adult,” the father’s attorneys claimed in the lawsuit.

The woman who was shot later told the police detective that Robert Dial instructed his son to hide the gun after the shooting. The woman told the detective that Cameron Dial might have hidden the gun in a closet or in the laundry room, and that Cameron cut holes in the walls of the apartment to hide things in what Robert Dial’s attorneys said was a “bizarre and untrue monologue.”

The gun was not hidden when police officers arrived at the scene. They immediately found the weapon, which was in plain view in the hand of the slain man, according to the lawsuit. The woman made a number of demonstrably false statements about the attack and had a history of being unreliable to the point that Brukbacher should have known she was not a credible witness, Dial’s attorneys alleged.

Brukbacher nevertheless authored a misleading and false affidavit charging Robert Dial with two felony counts of tampering with evidence based on the woman’s claim and arrested Robert Dial, according to the complaint. In the affidavit, Brukbacher said the woman had a “very clear memory of what happened,” although the woman herself described being “super in and out of it” during the shooting.

Jurors on Monday found Brukbacher liable for a false arrest and for malicious prosecution, Maxted said. Court records reflecting the verdict were not immediately available Tuesday.

Cameron Dial, now 32, was charged with first-degree murder. He took the case to trial and the jury could not reach a verdict, Maxted said. Court records show the son later pleaded guilty to the lesser charges of reckless manslaughter and attempted reckless manslaughter.

During Cameron Dial’s jury trial, the judge paused the proceedings and excused the jury while Brukbacher was on the stand in order to admonish the detective to testify truthfully, according to the lawsuit.

Brukbacher retired from the Parker Police Department in 2024 after spending more than two decades on the job, the . She remains a certified police officer but is unemployed, according to records kept by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Board.

The 23rd Judicial District Attorney’s office has begun the process of making credibility notifications about Brukbacher in cases in which she is endorsed as a witness in the wake of the civil verdict, spokesman Tom Mustin said in a statement Tuesday.

The verdict should put all Colorado police departments on notice, Stimson said.

“All the time across the country people are arrested for crimes they didn’t commit and prosecuted,” she said. “Their lives and careers are destroyed and prosecutors and police don’t care. They should make sure that there is probable cause every time they bring a case.”

Imperial Chinese Seafood Restaurant and Lounge, first opened by Johnny and Anne Hsu, had occupied a building on 431 S. Broadway since 1995. Hsu sold the building to Dan Dietrich, a health-care entrepreneur who last year expressed interest in expanding the concept across the Denver area and even to Las Vegas.

But those plans never came to fruition. Instead, a sign was recently taped to the restaurant’s front door. “After many years at Imperial Chinese, we have made the difficult decision to close our doors,” it read. “Due to rising operating costs and ongoing economic challenges, this was not an easy decision.”

Dietrich did not return a call seeking comment.

Imperial Chinese’s longevity on Broadway led The Denver Post to feature the restaurant in 2011 for a report on restaurants with more than 25 years in operation. “I saw that the economy was bad,” Johnny Hsu, originally from Hong Kong, was quoted as saying at the time about the economy in 1985. “But people still have to eat, and they want the best.”

Diners flocked to Imperial over the decades, leading the Post’s Alan Katz to say in 1990 that, “The Imperial has matured into a first-class restaurant that would rate highly in any American city. Rarely will you find a Chinese restaurant that rivals Imperial’s well-trained staff, exquisite Chinese food and classy, comfortable dining room … This was one of those meals I wish everyone I love could experience.”

In 2010, the Hsus celebrated Imperial’s 25th anniversary with a dinner at their Broadway restaurant. “When we opened up, we were the only ones who served real Chinese food,” Johnny Hsu was quoted as saying in a piece by Denver Post columnist Penny Parker. “We had the whole fish with the eyes popping out. We really shocked the public.”

After buying the restaurant from Hsu, Dietrich added several properties that had last been used by Sushi-Rama, a shuttered string of restaurants from Denver chef Jeff Osaka. The landlord for one of the properties sued Dietrich in February over what they said was more than $100,000 in unpaid rent. The case was filed in Arapahoe County District Court and is ongoing.

The future of the other properties Dietrich had acquired for the Chinese franchise, which he dubbed Imperial Go, is unclear. The Imperial Go website lists only a Las Vegas location, which is temporarily closed according to information on Google.

Jorge Trujillo, 20, pleaded guilty to killing 18-year-old Jose Angel Hernandez, who police found shot to death in the driver’s seat of an SUV stopped in the middle of the road in Greenwood Village in the early hours of April 27, 2024.

Greenwood Village Police Department investigators said the men had been arguing while driving with two other people in the SUV when Hernandez pulled over and everyone but Hernandez got out of the vehicle to cool down. Trujillo then started shooting Hernandez without warning and ran from the scene, witnesses told police.

Trujillo was sentenced to 22 years in prison with credit for 503 days served on Jan. 12, court records show. He was represented by the , which does not comment on criminal cases.

Kiarra Jones, a former paraprofessional for the school district, was eligible for a probation-only sentence, . Prosecutors argued for time in the Colorado Department of Corrections, and Arapahoe County District Court Judge Laqunya Baker-McKay agreed, according to the office.

Jones pleaded guilty in January to 10 counts of third-degree assault of an at-risk child, a felony, and two counts of misdemeanor child abuse, court records show. The plea deal, which dropped a felony count of child abuse from her case, was called “bittersweet” by the victims’ disappointed parents.

The three children hurt by Jones were students at the Joshua School in Englewood, which serves students on the autism spectrum. The Littleton Public Schools transportation department is contracted to bus students to the private school.

Jones was fired on March 19, 2024, after school district officials reviewed the recording of the previous day’s bus ride. That video showed Jones punching and elbowing a nonverbal boy with severe autism, who had been sitting calmly before the unprovoked assault.

Other videos slowly surfaced, but were not made public, of Jones assaulting other children on the bus, attorney Ciara Anderson of Rathod Mohamedbhai LLC previously told The Denver Post.

Anderson and her colleague, Qusair Mohamedbhai, are two attorneys representing the families in a civil lawsuit filed against the school, its leadership team and a teacher.

Richelle Lowry, 44, never showed up to work after returning from a business trip in October 2023, according to a grand jury indictment from the 18th Judicial District. She was found dead in her Bennett home, 1120 Antelope Drive West, after her employer and soon-to-be-ex-husband each called in welfare checks to the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office.

When deputies entered, they found Richelle Lowry’s luggage in the dining room, with the checked baggage tags from her recent trip still attached, according to the indictment.

Ronald Elton Lowry, Richelle’s husband, was indicted on Feb. 24 on charges of first-degree murder, stalking and tampering with evidence, court records show. The 52-year-old also faces two violent crime sentence enhancers.

As the investigation into his wife’s death continued, the man called friends and family to tell them Richelle Lowry had killed herself, according to the indictment.

Richelle Lowry had two life insurance policies, one worth $300,000 and another worth $200,000, investigators said in the indictment. If her death had been ruled a suicide, Ronald Lowry stood to gain more than $1.33 million, Richelle Lowry’s estate lawyer told deputies, according to the indictment.

Ronald and Richelle Lowry both lived in the Bennett home until September 2023, when the husband moved out amid divorce proceedings, according to the indictment. The wife paid him a lump sum of $400,000 to purchase a new house in Wiggins.

Richelle Lowry repeatedly told family and friends in the months leading up to her death that she was afraid for her life and that, “if anything happened to her, Ronald would be responsible,” the indictment stated. She was “very adamant” that she would not kill herself, and her friends and family members who spoke to detectives all said they did not believe she committed suicide.

She told one friend that she was afraid her husband would take her out fishing and “make it look like a drowning,” or take her hunting, shoot her and “make it look like an accident,” according to the indictment. Richelle said she was “willing to give Ronald anything,” including the house they had shared, to have him out of her life.

On the day of her suspected murder — Oct. 25, 2023 — Richelle Lowry had picked up a prescription and dinner, which investigators discovered untouched, according to the indictment. She was also looking at houses, planning trips and was slated to be part of a wedding two weeks after her death.

Ronald Lowry’s phone was offline the evening before between 4:02 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., according to the indictment.

“The phone was either in airplane mode, restricting it from sending or receiving any signal, or it was turned off,” the indictment stated. “During the time that Ronald’s phone (was) off network, a male with a similar appearance to Ronald (was) captured on Richelle’s home surveillance system.”

The woman’s friends and neighbors told investigators that she had told them about overhearing a conversation in early October 2023 between her husband and his brother about the recent suicide of the brother’s wife, according to the indictment. The men were discussing the benefits the brother received after his wife’s death and “plotting,” Richelle Lowry told several friends, according to the indictment.

Ronald Lowry claimed not to know that Richelle Lowry had started seeing someone new as their divorce proceeded, the indictment stated. However, Arapahoe County investigators discovered several videos of the woman and her new partner had been taken on Ronald Lowry’s phone and later deleted. The videos were deleted on Oct. 25, 2023, just hours after he called the sheriff’s office dispatch to request a welfare check for Richelle, according to the indictment.

“Well you know they always say the truth will set you free,” Ronald Lowry allegedly wrote in a note discovered on his phone, which was included in the indictment. “…I’m so glad I’m FREE of that NARCISSIST, MANIPULATIVE, LYING, CHEATING PERSON. 
 Thank GOD I sucked as much money out of her as I could.”

Neighbors spotted Ronald Lowry walking around the home on several days in October 2023, including while Arapahoe County sheriff’s deputies were on scene investigating his wife’s death, according to the indictment. One neighbor said the man told him that Richelle Lowry had killed herself before pulling out his phone and offering proof of his whereabouts on specific days and at specific times.

Ronald Lowry had previously injured Richelle Lowry’s hand on a trip to Hawaii and had been seen throwing “scary” tantrums, Richelle Lowry’s associates told investigators, the indictment stated.

After his wife’s death, Ronald Lowry’s emotions seemed to come and go, Richelle Lowry’s sister told Arapahoe County investigators. He “would be completely fine one minute and then break down the next,” her testimony in the indictment stated.

He repeatedly made statements after her death, including “If she used a gun, I’m going to jail”, “I’m going down for this” and “I am going to jail”, the sister told investigators.

The Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office initially ruled Richelle Lowry’s manner of death as “undetermined,” but later classified it as a homicide and reissued the death certificate, according to the indictment.

Ronald Lowry is next scheduled to appear in Arapahoe County District Court on Thursday for a status conference, according to court records. As of Tuesday, he was being held without bail.
