Murder suspect taken into custody near Mexico border
Lukeville, Ariz. - Murder suspect Timothy Boham was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers Thursday morning in Arizona.
Officials say Boham was loitering around the customs inspection facility in Lukeville, Arizona. Officers approached Boham who told them he was being sought on a murder warrant.
Police soon confirmed a first-degree murder warrant had been issued for him and he was taken into custody without incident.
An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official told 9NEWS Boham had recently crossed back over the border from Mexico.
Boham is suspected of killing 43-year-old businessman John Paul Kelso.
Denver Police say Kelso, who went by J.P., was found dead Monday at his home located at 3601 7th Avenue Parkway, near Monroe Street in Congress Park.
Police say Kelso was shot, and through the investigative process, were able to identify Boham as the suspect.
Kelso was the co-owner of a collection agency called Professional Recovery Systems, according to workers.
Co-workers remembered Kelso as a loving and giving person.
Denver Police say they were called around 9 a.m. Monday and when paramedics arrived they first thought the man could have died from natural causes, but later determined it was a homicide.
Officials are currently making arrangements to have Boham returned to Colorado.
