DENVER — Police in Lafayette are investigating a homicide after a man was found shot to death inside a home early Saturday morning. A woman was wounded in the shooting.

Officers responded to the home in the 700 block of South Lafayette Drive after a report of a shooting around 3 a.m.

The female victim called police about a disturbance in her apartment. She was subsequently shot by an adult male suspect, in what was possibly a domestic violence-related incident, according to the Lafayette Police Department.

When officers arrived, they discovered the body of a man who sustained multiple gunshot wounds, police said. The woman was transported to the hospital where she is recovering.

The male victim was identified Monday as 23-year-old Eduardo Espinoza Bencomo.

Police released information on a possible suspect Saturday evening. They are looking for 24-year-old Anthony Yohari Lopez Olguin. He may be associated with a 2002 white Chevrolet Tahoe with Colorado license plate BCKP98.

If Olguin or the associated vehicle is observed, please contact Boulder County Communications at 303-441-4444 or 911. He may be armed and dangerous.
