Denver police identify homicide suspect still on the loose

Denver Police are asking for the public's help in finding a suspect in a homicide that occurred Monday.

The suspect, Martin Trusty, 47, is wanted for suspicion of first-degree murder.

Police were called to the area of West 11th Avenue and Santa Fe Drive at about 5:49 p.m. on Feb. 18 on a report of an assault.

When they arrived, police found 44-year-old Darwin Brown, who had been assaulted. Brown was transported to the hospital, but died a short time later.

Police have released little details about the incident other than to say the suspect appeared to have run away.

Court records show Trusty has a lengthy criminal history dating to 1986 including multiple charges of drugs and burglary.

Trusty's run ins with the law also earned him jail time for drug and escape charges on various occasions.

A person by the same age and name as the victim had recently served jail time for theft.

In that 2011 case, a person by the name of Darwin Brown was accused of stealing a truck while the owner was sleeping in the truck's camper in the truck's bed. After driving for more than two hours, the truck ran out of gas and police were able to apprehend Brown.

Police documents from the time listed Brown's home at the St. Francis Center homeless shelter.

Anyone with information about Trusty's location is asked to contact Denver Police at 720-913-2000.

Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867). Tips can also be sent by text message to CRIMES (274637) with the title DMCS or by e-mail to metro-denvercrimestoppers.com.

EVERETT -- Police on Wednesday were canvassing the View Ridge-Madison neighborhood in Everett after a man was found dead there the night before. A neighbor spotted the man on the ground outside a vacant house at 22 Madison St. He called 911 about 6:20 p.m. The man had obvious signs of trauma to his torso, police said. He looked to be in his late 20s or early 30s. The Everett Major Crimes Unit is investigating the death as a homicide, Lt. Robert Goetz said.

Monroe police this week wrapped up their probe into the boy's Jan. 30 death and forwarded the case to prosecutors to decide if his parents should face criminal charges. Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Lisa Paul likely will begin reviewing the case in the coming days. She doesn't expect to make a charging decision in the near future, however.

The boy, identified as "A.J." in court papers, ingested a lethal amount of salicylates, a chemical common in aspirin and other over-the-counter drugs.
