Blas Salazar, 59, of Ignacio, was arrested on tribal land in southwest Colorado as a suspect in the murder of his wife, Herberta, 31, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced Tuesday.
The woman's body was discovered at the couple's home Saturday evening in 600-block of Shoshone Drive during a welfare check by Ignacio police.
Salazar was arrested early Sunday off La Plata County Road 521 on Southern Ute Tribal Trust land. He suffered what appeared to be self-inflicted wounds.
Southern Ute Reservation headquarters is located in Ignacio, which is 24 miles southeast of Durango. The suspect isn't indigenous, according to investigators.
