A man has been formally charged after a series of alleged crimes, including shooting a woman in the face, across Lakewood, Denver and Littleton earlier this month.
Matthew Erik Lowderback, 34, was charged on Thursday with 12 counts in connection with the crimes, which spanned from April 9 into April 10, according to the Denver District Attorney's Office. The charges include attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, two counts of robbery, aggravated motor vehicle theft, vehicular eluding, three counts of menacing, possession of a weapon by a previous offender and two crime of violence sentence enhancers.
During the subsequent investigation, authorities learned that the man accused of shooting her was Lowderback. In addition to the shooting, Lowderback was accused of stealing the Jaguar, which belonged to the woman. The day after the shooting, April 10, officers with the Denver Police Department responded to a disturbance involving a person with a gun. That individual was identified as Lowderback and the responding officers were informed of the warrant out of Weld County and shooting the day prior, the district attorney's office said.
Officers were able to stop the car at S. Lowell Boulevard and W. Bowles Avenue, and Lowderback ran from the car southwest on W. Bowles Avenue and into Clement Park. Officers saw that he had a handgun, the district attorney's office said.
