UPDATE

Denver police accused a prisoner at the Downtown Detention Center of killing his cellmate early Monday.


Ricky Lee Roybal-Smith, 38, faces charges of first-degree murder, police said. They did not disclose the manner of death nor the name of the dead inmate.

[9News reported Roybal-Smith "is a person of interest in a pair of fatal stabbings in Aurora the day prior." The 9News report couldn't be independently confirmed.]

Downtown Detention Center records show the 5-foot-6 Smith was booked into the jail Sunday on drug and motor vehicle charges as well as a parole violation.
