United States Marshals, with assistance from law enforcement agencies in Delta and Montrose counties, arrested an El Paso County attempted homicide suspect Saturday in Eckert.
The U.S. Marshals Service identified the suspect as John Anthony Barrera, 46, and said although the arrest warrant was recently issued, the alleged homicide attempt occurred in 2018.
Authorities with the Colorado Springs Police Department, whose warrant it was, could not be reached for further information about the case.
According to Acting Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal for the District of Colorado Katrina Crouse, the agency received a tip that Barrera was possibly living in Eckert.
