ROYBAL-SMITH NOW FACING CHARGES IN AURORA HOMELESS SLAYINGS, TOO

Accused triple-murderer

It's three strikes for Ricky Lee Roybal-Smith, law enforcement officials announced Wednesday.

Accused of killing of his cellmate at the Downtown Denver Detention Center early Monday, Roybal-Smith now faces murder charges in the stabbing deaths of two homeless men in Aurora.

Roybal-Smith, 38, was booked into the Denver jail on unrelated charges, including a parole violation, on Sunday afternoon. 

The homeless men were killed in separate attacks on Moline Street and Peoria Street early Sunday.


"Detectives have since confirmed the two crimes are connected and Roybal-Smith faces first-degree murder charges for both incidents," Aurora police said.

The accused triple-murderer has a lengthy criminal record. He was set to be transferred to the Adams County jail.
