The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a homicide in Castle Pines after one woman was killed and another was injured in a stabbing.
The sheriff’s office arrested Messiah Williams, 18, on several charges, including first-degree murder after deliberation, attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault and tampering with evidence, according to a press release.
Deputies were dispatched to the 1300 Block of Sweet River Circle in Castle Pines at 11:36 p.m. Sunday, said Deputy Daniel Carlin, spokesman for the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
When deputies arrived, they discovered one woman was dead from apparent stab wounds. A second woman’s arm was injured. Officers believe the injuries were caused by a knife, according to the press release.
