Zachary Rice, a 30-year-old Colorado man, was arrested Sunday in Nebraska on a Denver homicide arrest warrant connected to a fatal March gang shooting, police said.
Witnesses told police that Rice and McCullough had an ongoing feud and that Rice had admitted to killing McCullough just days after the shooting, claiming it was “either me or him,” according to an arrest affidavit.
When officers arrived, they found McCullough sitting in the driver’s seat of a Gold Mercury Cougar parked across from the park with five gunshot wounds to the right side of his body, police said in the affidavit. Paramedics took the 37-year-old to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.Four bullet casings were found in the car, which means the gun was most likely fired from inside the vehicle and McCullough knew the shooter, police said in the affidavit.
The Denver Police Department received five anonymous tips between March 30 and April 2, all providing information on the same suspect as well as photographs and physical descriptions, according to the affidavit. The descriptions given by the tipsters matched what witnesses in the area of the shooting told officers, police said.
Rice, who was on federal probation at the time of the shooting, had previously been arrested multiple times and pleaded guilty to assault, motor vehicle theft and multiple weapons charges, according to court records.Crime and Public Safety |Rice has not yet been scheduled for extradition to Colorado and his first court date is set for Oct. 1, 2029, about five years after his arrest, according to court records.
