A 29-year-old man pleaded guilty to murder in connection with the 2015 fatal shooting of a father visiting his daughter in Denver.
On March 10, Nicholas Christopher Lujan pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder, according to the Denver District Attorney's Office. He was accused of killing Jose Frias-Olivas, 61.
When police arrived at the scene, they found he had been shot once in the back of the head, according to the affidavit. In October 2015, a detective took four suspects in custody for a robbery. One had the same tattoo described by the witness at the shooting scene in August. A black long barrel revolver was seized from a backpack, according to the affidavit.
Detectives obtained saliva samples from Lujan while he served his sentence for the robbery case, according to the affidavit.
