AURORA, Colo. (AP) — Colorado authorities say a man wanted for shooting and killing a woman last week in a suburban Denver church and wounding two churchgoers has died after he was shot by police officers.
Suspect Jose De Jesus Montoya Villa was shot Wednesday in the suburb of Aurora when police stopped a vehicle he was suspected of stealing in the course of committing several crimes.
Authorities say Montoya Villa was armed and confronted the officers. Relatives of the woman killed in the church say she and the suspect had been in a relationship that ended.
The two men injured inside the church are expected to survive.
