DENVER — A man suspected of shooting and killing a police detective and wounding his colleague last month was arrested in Mexico on Saturday, ending an extensive manhunt that also included investigations in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Denver police said.
Four other people suspected of helping Raul Garcia-Gomez, 19, were arrested in Denver and Los Angeles, Denver Police Chief Gerry Whitman said.
Gomez’s father, Mercedes Castaneda Gomez; a sister, Ayde Gomez; and Santiago Nicholas Hernandez, possibly Gomez’s uncle, were being held on immigration violations in Los Angeles, Whitman said. Federal authorities were investigating whether they could be charged with harboring a fugitive, he said.
