DENVER (KDVR) — The third and final fugitive in a December 2024 kidnapping and armed home invasion case at the now-closed The Edge at Lowry apartment complex has been extradited to Colorado after he was arrested by Chicago police in April on retail theft charges.

He was extradited to the state on an Aurora Police Department warrant for four counts of second-degree kidnapping, four charges of aggravated robbery, two charges of menacing with a deadly weapon and two charges of extortion, which are all felony charges.
