The suspect in a fatal hostage situation and shootout earlier this month at Broomfield’s Arista Flats apartment complex has been charged with more than 20 felonies, including first-degree murder.
Gregory Miles, 34, was charged with one count of first-degree murder, four counts of attempted first-degree murder, 18 counts of attempted first-degree murder of a peace officer and a violent crime sentence enhancer, according to the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Miles is accused of holding hostage and killing Aisha Quest — a woman with whom he lived at Arista Flats — during the Sept. 12 standoff at the complex, DA officials said Thursday. Officials still have not specified the nature of their relationship.
Since 2009, Miles has been arrested in Colorado nine times on domestic violence charges — including stalking, harassment, assault, child abuse and protection order violations — according to court records.
During the same period, the 34-year-old has pled guilty to or been found guilty across four Colorado counties on charges including menacing, harassment, third-degree assault, second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, animal abuse, kidnapping/false imprisonment and criminal mischief, according to court records.
