RawNews1st – A man in Denver has been found guilty of killing a woman with an AK-47 while her and her boyfriend were taking their dog for a walk in June 2020, Colorado news outlets report.
Michael Close, 38, got into a “verbal exchange” with the victim, Isabella Thallas, 21, and her boyfriend, Darian Simon, when they were outside his apartment.
On June 10, 2020, 21-year-old Isabella Thallas was walking her dog with her boyfriend in the Ballpark neighborhood of Denver, according to the Denver District Attorney’s Office in a news release.
“Close began a verbal exchange with them over a command they used to have their dog defecate. Both victims had disengaged from Close and were tending to their dog when it is alleged that Close began shooting,” the release said.
Close allegedly used an AK-47 to fire two dozen rounds at the couple. Thallas was pronounced dead at the scene.
Note: He also faces the sentence-enhancing charge of crime of violence.
Close has since been charged with two counts of murder in the first degree, two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, two counts of assault in the first degree, six counts of using a prohibited large-capacity magazine during the commission of a crime, three counts of possessing a prohibited large-capacity magazine, and one count of disorderly conduct.
