Murder charges filed in shooting

Ronald Smith

A man was formally charged Friday in the shooting of a 47-year-old father outside the Hive nightclub last week.

Marvin Rosario-Lopez, 24, was charged with first-degree murder after deliberation, and first-degree murder with extreme indifference.

The fatal shooting occurred early Sunday near the intersection of 11th Avenue and Lincoln Street when a brawl inside the nightclub's dance floor spilled into the street.

Ronald Smith had been at the club with his wife to watch his youngest son — rapper Andrew Smith — perform.

Smith

Marvin Rosario-Lopez

was getting ready to leave when a fight broke out between his older son, Devin, and another man. The two men were thrown out of the club by security guards.

Smith saw his older son in the street bleeding and decided to confront the man he believed had smashed a beer bottle onto his older son's head.

That's when police say Smith was shot and killed.

Security guards detained Rosario-Lopez at the scene until Denver police arrived to take him into custody.

Rosario-Lopez remains in custody and is being held without bond.

He is scheduled to appear in Denver district court on Nov. 13.

Colorado Bureau of Investigation records show that Rosario-Lopez had previously been arrested in May 2007 for possession and sale of drugs. He was convicted and sentenced to two years' probation.

In August 2007 he was arrested on similar charges.

The charges in the murder come just a day after police held a meeting to calm the Capitol Hill residents and to ask for help in solving another murder in the neighborhood that happened the same weekend.

On Nov. 2, Ryan Haldeman, 28, was stabbed to death as he headed home from Pub on Penn at East 13th Avenue and Pennsylvania Street.

Police have few leads in that case, and have not made an arrest.

Charges dismissed in grisly Ypsilanti Township triple homicide

Image
For nearly six years, they were locked up facing a possible death sentence for a grisly 2001 triple homicide in Ypsilanti Township. On Friday, a federal judge dismissed the charges against Deondre Byrd and three other men after a federal prosecutor said new evidence came to light last Friday that prevented the government from taking the case to trial. It was the second time in three years that Byrd escaped murder charges. He has been imprisoned in recent years for both the triple homicide and the slaying of a 16-year-old girl in Ann Arbor, but he has been convicted on only a federal gun charge. "Obviously, I'm pretty upset that almost 11 years later, we still don't have any answers," said Christy Brown, 30, a close family friend of the victims of the triple homicide. She said she got a call from federal prosecutors Thursday saying the case was being dropped, but they wouldn't elaborate. "I was very surprised. I honestly thought they were making some...

Flint's battlefield: A three-year murder map

Image
FLINT, MI -- There have been 189 murders in the city since 2010. Below is a map of the locations of each murder in the last three years, as well as the names of the slain on Flint's battlefield. The spike in murders occurred almost immediately after large-scale layoffs in March of 2010. By year's end the city had set a record with 66 murders, breaking the previous mark of 61 set in 1986. Killing continued in 2011 with 57 murders. A look at the map shows the majority of the murders took place on the north and east sides, historically the most economically depressed areas of the city. Just 25 murders in the last three years occurred south of Court Street. The map is color-coded by year. Green markers denote 2012 murders while red markers are from 2011 and blue from 2010. 2012 No. 1: Jan. 11: Kevin Berger, 55, died Jan. 11 after a Jan. 10 double shooting at his home on Keller Avenue near Welch Boulevard around 10:15 pm. Darius McGee, 25, was also critically shot. He survi...

Manslaughter charges dropped against Keys man accused of letting girl drive drunk before she crashed and died

Image
A manslaughter charge against a Marathon man accused of helping cause the death of a teenager by letting her drive drunk has been dropped due to what prosecutors say is lack of evidence. Michael Mearns, 26, the son of former Marathon Mayor Randy Mearns and grandson of former Marathon Councilwoman Margie Mearns, had been charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence following a Feb. 25, 2011, crash in which 17-year-old Amber Kogelis of Lower Matecumbe Key died. "You have to prove he knew she was drinking," State Attorney Catherine Vogel said Wednesday. "It's clear we do not have evidence of the impairment." That's even though an autopsy revealed Kogelis had a blood alcohol content of .125. In Florida, .08 is considered legally drunk. "It didn't rise to the level beyond a reasonable doubt," said Assistant State Attorney Paunece Ramage. "She wasn't stumbling, she wasn't holding herself up" in a video prosecutors re...
