Fort Collins police are investigating a homicide after a man was found Friday night with multiple stab wounds and later died in a hospital.
The suspect remains at large.
Police were called to 318 N. College Ave., a Loaf N Jug gas station and convenience store in northern Fort Collins, due to a report of a “possible stabbing” at around 10:09 p.m., according to a press release made public at 2 a.m. Saturday. An adult male with multiple stab wounds was found on College and Willow Street and taken to a hospital, where he later died.
A suspect is described as a dark-skinned man in his 40s or 50s with a “grubby beard”, who wears jeans, a dark colored shirt and a black hat. It was reported that he was riding east on Willow on a dark-colored bicycle.
“Our detectives and forensics will work all night and endlessly until we can apprehend this suspect,” said Sgt. Randy Klamser, who oversees the Crimes Against Persons Unit of the Fort Collins Police Department.
The press release described the investigation as in its early stages.
Multiple police officers were on the scene Friday night, and northbound College Avenue was closed, along with part of Willow Street, while police investigated.
The Larimer County coroner will release the man’s identity and cause of death at a later date, the press release said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Detective Justin Butler of the Fort Collins Police Department at (970) 221-6340. You can remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers of Larimer County at 970-221-6868 or www.stopcriminals.org
