Grand Junction Murder Suspect Taken Into Custody
Mesa County authorities made an arrest Thursday in connection with a homicide in Clifton last week.
Following up on leads about their whereabouts, the Mesa County Sheriff's Office says 56-year-old Frank Kurtz and 37-year-old Charity Perschbacher were arrested Thursday without incident. The pair was found walking in the vicinity of 32 3/8 Road and White Avenue in Clifton, the same area where the murder of 36-year-old Marcos Bencomo occurred.
The homicide occurred at about 3:30 on the afternoon of January 21 outside a residence on White Avenue near 32 3/8 Road. Police arrived on the scene and found Bencomo with a gunshot wound to the head, but life-saving measures were unsuccessful and he died at the scene.
