A man accused of carrying out a shooting that left one person dead and two other people injured was arrested early Sunday at a Colorado hotel after an intense manhunt on the ground and in the air.
The city of Alamosa said on Facebook Sunday evening that the person of interest in the shooting, identified by authorities as Henry Corral, had been found.
Police responded to the Sunset Inn Hotel just after 2 a.m. Sunday for reports of gunfire and found three people shot, the city said on Facebook.
Two of the victims were transported to hospital in critical condition, the third victim died.
The suspect fled. Officials previously said he was “considered armed and dangerous.”
Corral then crashed the car he was driving while trying to escape, authorities said. After he crashed, he tried to carjack a vehicle but failed, prompting him to run away, officials said.
Authorities said planes and 40 police officers searched the area for Corral on Sunday, “door to door, building to building.”
Officials said the U.S. Marshals Service and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation were assisting with search efforts.
Police have issued an arrest warrant for Corral on two counts of attempted first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, one count of tampering with physical evidence, possession of a weapon by a previous offender and criminal attempt to commit aggravated robbery, they said officials. .
Alamosa, a small city in southern Colorado, has a population of just under 10,000. It is located about 30 miles from the New Mexico border and about 165 miles southwest of Colorado Springs.
