LA JUNTA, Colo. â Two people were arrested in connection with the May 14 homicide of a La Junta man.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday that the two suspects, 38-year-old Matthew Perez and 32-year-old Nikki Olivas, both of Garden City, Kansas, were arrested.
Perez faces a first-degree murder charge and Olivas faces charges of accessory to first-degree murder.
