Sheriff says no other suspects sought in deputy's death
DENVER (AP) — Two men who were nearby when a Colorado sheriff's deputy was shot and killed were interviewed and released, authorities said Friday as a suspect in the slaying prepared to make his first court appearance.
A statement issued on Twitter by the Adams County Sheriff's Office said no other suspects were being sought in the killing of 31-year-old Deputy Heath Gumm.
Court records show 22-year-old Dreion Martise Dearing was being held on suspicion of homicide of a peace officer and second-degree burglary.
It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
No further details were released about the questioning of the two men who were nearby during the attack.
