In a shocking turn of events, 38-year-old Ricky Roybal-Smith from Aurora, Colorado, has been charged with three separate homicides that took place in both Aurora and Denver.
The first incident occurred on Sunday, July 2025, in northwest Aurora. Two homeless men were found fatally stabbed - one at 1535 Moline St. and another at a bus stop on Peoria Street near East Colfax Avenue. The police have linked these two murders and arrested Roybal-Smith, accusing him of committing these fatal stabbings. Authorities have requested prosecutors to bring first-degree murder charges against him related to these killings.

Roybal-Smith is currently detained in Denver's Downtown Detention Center, awaiting transfer to Adams County jail to face the charges for the Aurora murders. The exact locations of the Aurora homicides were not specified in the reports.
The homicides for which Roybal-Smith is accused are under investigation by both Aurora and Denver police.
