The Aurora Police Department has just released information about a thus-far-unidentified man killed early Saturday morning at the Carriage Motel Inn (misidentified as the Carriage Motor Inn), 9201 E. Colfax.
This location has turned up in our Mile High Murder archives once before. Back in September, Michael Curtis was found dead at a motel on the 9200 block of East Colfax -- and the Carriage Motel Inn is the only joint that matches this description. One of the men sought for Curtis's murder -- Jesse Dennis Dimmick -- wound up earning Shmuck of the Week honors for his bizarre arrest after he took a couple of hostages and then fell asleep.
There's not nearly as much detail contained in the latest APD release -- just the basics. Get the info below, and check out an interactive graphic of the area where the crime took place (if you have problems seeing the image, click "View Larger Map").
