Broomfield police advised people living in the Anthem neighborhood Sunday night to stay inside and not let anyone in their homes. When the order ended around 108 a.m. Monday, police said sheltering in place was no longer necessary but still advised those in the area to take extra precautions and call 911 immediately if anyone sees the suspect.

Denver7 has texted, called and reached out to Broomfield police on social media for answers on why the order ended if the suspect has not been located.

Broomfield police said the suspect has a warrant out of Fort Collins for his arrest, but did not share the details of why with Denver7. They did assure the public, police remain in the area of the shelter-in-place order to assist the community.
