ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — After putting a plea for help earlier this week, Englewood Police said Friday they located a pickup truck linked to a fatal shooting last month.
Police found the victim, Suany Melgar Almendarez, 41, on Sept. 11 near South Vallejo Street and West Adriatic Place. That's a few blocks east of the intersection of South Federal Boulevard and West Evans Avenue.
Investigators believe Almendarez was killed the previous day, Sept. 10, police said on Tuesday.
On Tuesday, police said they were looking for a 2010 blue Chevrolet Silverado with license plate AWJ-C92 and asked that anyone with information on the pickup call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
In a social media post on Friday, Englewood Police said the truck had been recovered but did not provide other details.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867 or visit metrodenvercrimestoppers.com. Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000.
Metro Denver Crime Stoppers works by assigning a code to people who anonymously submit a tip. Information is shared with law enforcement, and Crime Stoppers is notified at the conclusion of the investigation.
From there, an awards committee reviews the information provided and, if the information leads to an arrest, the tipster will be notified. Rewards can be collected using the code numbers received when the tip was originally submitted.
