Court documents obtained by The Gazette revealed additional details into the homicide that took the life of 55-year-old Omar Olmedo in late February in Colorado Springs.

The man allegedly responsible for the death of Olmedo, 38-year-old Marquise Hutt, was arrested in early December following several months of investigation.

In the early hours of Feb. 29, police were dispatched to The Lamplighter Mobile Homes near South Academy Boulevard. When they arrived they said they found Olmedo lying on his back with a small pool of blood near him. The man also had blood on his face and arm.

Olmedo appeared unconscious, and was transported to a local hospital shortly after police arrived. He succumbed to his injuries on March 5 after days on life support.

The reporting party told law enforcement both him and his son lived at the residence and Olmedo, a friend of his son, had been staying with them for the past week.

The father claimed he and his son drove to Denver the previous night, arriving home between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. to the sight of Olmedo lying of the floor moaning. The father initially told police he thought Olmedo would wake up and waited an hour before calling police.

An officer noticed a damaged barstool on scene, which the father told police was not damaged when he left.

Video footage from a neighbor showed a dark SUV pulling up and parking in front of the residence at 5:54 a.m. A male and a female were observed walking around the vehicle before walking out of view.

The SUV drove off heading southbound at 6:12 a.m., one minute before the call for service came in.

On March 11, detectives became aware that Hutt has been arrested on a felony domestic violence warrant. Hutt, the half-brother of the son, and his girlfriend had a vehicle resembling the one parked outside the trailer.

In an initial interview with investigators Hutt had denied being at the mobile home in over a year.

“Why would I go there? You arrested me there before,” Hutt says.

The arrest affidavit indicate that police found blood on Hutt’s shoes, which were taken as evidence. A search warrant was also issued for Hutt’s SUV, in which law enforcement found traces of blood on the driver’s side floorboard. Hutt’s girlfriend claimed it was hers.

The father later identified the person in the parked vehicle as Hutt from a still image from the surveillance video. He also confirmed to law enforcement the dark SUV belonged to Hutt’s girlfriend.

The father also said Hutt had been at the mobile home on March 14 and 15, spending time with his son. Previously, Hutt denied being at the residence in over a year.

Another search warrant granted law enforcement access to Hutt’s call detail records. Cell data shows Hutt’s phone was at or near the residence both before and after the estimated time of the attack.

Months later, on Aug. 12, detectives say a crime lab confirmed the blood from Hutt’s shoe matched Olmedo and an arrest warrant for issued.

Hutt was booked into the El Paso County jail the evening of Dec. 5. As of Wednesday afternoon, he remains in El Paso County jail on a $1 million bond. His preliminary hearing on the murder charge is set for Feb. 7.
