Terrell Ronin Warrior was arrested after Westminster police responded to the hotel at 12055 Melody Drive the morning of June 29 and found one man with a stab wound to the chest. The man, later identified by the Adams County Coroner’s Office as 23-year-old Angelo Nicholas Rodriguez, died at the scene.

Prosecutors did not file charges against Warrior after finding they couldn’t prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt because of a self-defense claim, 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office spokesperson Chris Hopper said.

The case was closed on July 5, according to court records.
