ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — A woman pleaded guilty last week to a burglary charge in connection with the robbery and homicide of an 85-year-old man in unincorporated Adams County in 2021, according to court documents.
Kyli Ferguson, 29, pleaded guilty Feb. 16 to one count of first-degree burglary, which is a felony, and violent crime causing death or serious bodily injury, a sentence enhancement charge.
