DENVER — A suspect has been arrested after he walked into a Denver police station and told officers he had been involved in a shooting and wanted to turn himself in.
Phillip Bivins, 45, went to the station just before 9 p.m. Friday, a probable cause statement says.
Officers had been called to the area of East 32nd Avenue and North Dahlia Street about 8:35 p.m. Friday to investigate a reported homicide. According to the release, officers checked the area but couldn't find a victim.
After asking Bivins where the shooting happened and who the victim was, officers responded to a home in the 3200 block of Dexter Street, about a block from the original report.
Officers found an unresponsive woman, who was later identified as 42-year-old Tia Bivins, in the home, the report says. She was pronounced dead by Denver Health paramedics shortly after 10 p.m. The coroner determined she died from a gunshot wound.
Phillip Bivins is being held for investigation of first-degree murder.
