Denver police are searching for a 26-year-old man suspected of murder in an early October homicide, according to the department.

A judge issued a first-degree murder arrest warrant for Gabriel Ortiz Trujillo, described as a 5-foot-6-inch, 100-pound Hispanic man with brown eyes and brown hair, Denver police said.

Police said the homicide happened at about 9:25 p.m. on Oct. 3 in the 8600 block of East Colfax Avenue.
