DENVER — Prosecutors on Wednesday dropped one of two first-degree murder charges against the man accused of killing two brothers in an apparent road rage shooting this summer in Denver.
Blake Lucas was taken to a hospital, where he died. Damon Lucas had several gunshot wounds and was pronounced deceased at the scene. Both deaths were ruled a homicide two days later. In court on Wednesday, Denver police Det. Adam Lucero, who was on call the day of the alleged shooting, recalled the witness accounts from the alleged crime. He said witnesses told police that Long was in a red 2011 Ford Taurus that was tailgating another car, which was occupied by the brothers. When traffic stopped on a busy stretch of I-25, witnesses said the three people started arguing.
Long still faces a first-degree murder charge in connection with the shooting death of 22-year-old Damon Lucas.
