Two Arrested over Fatal Shooting of Jeweler

May 12, 24 by John Jeffay

(IDEX Online) - Police have arrested a second man suspected of the murder of a jeweler at his store in Denver, Colorado, USA.

Peter Damian Arguello, 64 was found dead at his store, Peter Damian Fine Jewelry & Antiques, in Wheat Ridge, last November, after what police described at the time as a "possible armed robbery".

According to court documents, surveillance video from the store shows a suspect pulling a gun on Arguello trying to handcuff him, then shooting him three times when he put up a fight.

Charles Robinson Shay, 41, Shay was arrested last December after police found his DNA on a pair of flex cuffs left at the scene. Michael McCormack, 50, his alleged accomplice, was arrested last week.

Shay has been charged with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder.

McCormack is charged with second-degree murder, second-degree kidnapping, aggravated robbery, and second-degree motor vehicle theft.
