In the late afternoon of October 30, 2017, a dispute in a parking lot in Centennial, Colorado, ended with 30-year-old Adolf Arellano shot in the stomach. Arellano and his girlfriend had gone to the 300 block of East Highline Circle to collect money from a woman; an argument followed and, as Arellano and his girlfriend were leaving in their vehicle, the woman followed them and shot Arellano. He was taken to a nearby hospital and died of his wounds.

Investigators focused on a female suspect initially described as having purple hair. The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office identified her as 34-year-old Jacqueline Yvonne Lucero and issued a warrant, saying they did not believe the shooting was random and that Lucero and Arellano knew each other. A week after the shooting officers located Lucero; she fled in a vehicle, led officers on a high-speed chase across Denver, unincorporated Arapahoe County and Aurora, crashed near East Alameda Avenue and South Potomac Street, tried to run on foot and was captured.

Lucero was charged in connection with Arellano’s death; the argument was reported to have been over money. Does anyone have information about the dispute or about Adolf’s movements in Centennial that afternoon?
