WELD COUNTY, Colo. — A second suspect has been arrested in connection to a man's murder that happened in November outside of Johnstown.
Seferino Hermosillo, 36, was wanted by the Weld County Sheriff's Office for the murder of 40-year-old Gilbert Gutierrez.
Around 12:45 p.m. on Nov. 21, 2021, deputies responded to a home on Blake Street near the intersection of County Road 48 1/2 in unincorporated Weld County after receiving a report of a suspicious death in the area. Gutierrez was found dead from blunt force trauma, according to authorities.
Hermosillo was arrested Jan. 6 in Odessa, Texas, by the Odessa Police Department.
