What did Clemente Flores-Hernandez do?
According to police, they were called to a home in the 4700 block of Durham Court on Friday, February 24 night at 8:15 pm.

When police arrived, they discovered a woman with what seemed to be a gunshot wound. She was declared dead there and then, as reported by 9 News.
The father said that he and his son had been in the home's basement during the investigation. They were invited to dinner by his mother. The child went upstairs by himself.
“[The son] said several minutes later he heard numerous gunshots,” the affidavit stated. “[The son] said he went upstairs after hearing the gunshots and while he was still going upstairs, he observed the defendant, Mr. Flores-Hernandez approaching him with a gun pointed at him. [The son] said that he began struggling with the defendant over the gun and during this struggle the gun discharged. [The son] described the gun as being empty, and out of ammunition, and this is when he said the defendant threw the gun. [The son] said the defendant then began to physically assault [The son] by placing his hand around [The son] throat and pushing him up against a wall. [The son] reported he was unable to breathe, was dizzy, and felt he was going to lose consciousness.”
According to the affidavit, the son claimed that he was able to escape and tried to flee, but was unable to do so because he was having problems breathing. The grandchild was allegedly taken by Flores-Hernandez, who then fled in a vehicle. The father said that he started to follow in a different car.
“[The son] continued to follow Mr. Flores-Hernandez on Eastbound I-70 towards Strasburg, CO,” officers wrote. “Near Mile Marker 312, Adams County Sheriff Deputies deployed stop sticks which disabled Mr. Flores-Hernandez’s Silver Nissan Altima. Mr. Flores-Hernandez exited the Silver Nissan Altima with [the grandson] in his arms and was eventually taken into custody.”
