EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. — The El Paso County Sheriff's Office(EPSO) reports they have arrested a man following a death investigation.
On Aug. 1, around 2:30 a.m. EPSO Communication Center received a 911 call requesting a welfare check in the 13000 block of Halleluiah Trail in El Paso County. The caller said that they saw an unresponsive female at the location.
The Falcon Fire Department was the first agency to respond, where medical professionals administered life-saving efforts but were unsuccessful.
Due to the uncertainty surrounding the situation, detectives were called to the scene. They conducted several interviews and after establishing probable cause charged Jorge Meza-Alarcon Jr, 26, with first-degree murder.
