FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Fort Collins Police Services arrested a man accused of stabbing another man to death on Nov. 19.
Detectives identified Brian Townsend, 35, of Fort Collins as a suspect through their investigation. He was arrested Monday on a first-degree murder charge.
On Nov. 21, officers responded to a call of a passerby finding a deceased man outside in the 800 block of N. College Ave. just after 10:30 a.m. Due to evidence on the scene, detectives began investigating the case as a suspicious death.
The Larimer County Coroner's office identified the man as Adam Clouser, 30, of Fort Collins. The office determined his cause of death was due to multiple stab wounds.
