COLORADO STATE TROOPERS ASSIST IN THE ARREST OF HOMICIDE SUSPECT FROM ILLINOIS
On 10/04/10 approximately 2:57 p.m., Colorado State Troopers assisted the East Moline Illinois Police Department in apprehending a homicide suspect Ryan Moore.
Moore is wanted for a homicide that occurred in East Moline Illinois on September 30th.
Investigators from the East Moline Police Department had reason to believe that Moore was traveling through Eagle County and contacted the Colorado State Patrol to assist with his arrest.
Troopers located a vehicle, a 2001 Saturn sedan, and identified the driver of that vehicle matching the description of Moore. Troopers briefly closed westbound Colorado 70 and initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle one mile west of Gypsum. The three male occupants of the Saturn were ordered out at gunpoint and were taken into custody without incident. The male driver was identified as Ryan Moore, age 21 of Illinois and booked into the Eagle County Jail. The two male passengers were interviewed and released.
The Colorado State Patrol was assisted by the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office and Vail Police Department.
