Deputies search for 6 light rail passengers in CU grad's death

ARAPAHOE COUNTY - Sheriff's deputies are trying to identify six people who were seen in surveillance video riding a light rail train with a University of Colorado graduate who died shortly after reaching his stop.

The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office says 23-year-old Andrew Graham got off the light rail train Thursday night at 11:40 p.m. at the County Line Light Rail Platform. Graham was found dead the following morning, face down in a front yard in the 8700 block of E. Phillips Place. He had suffered a single gunshot wound.

"These six people were the last people we know of that were in his presence while he was still alive," Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson said on Tuesday. "We do not believe any of the six are involved in his death. We do believe that any one of the six could have a bit of information that would be instrumental or critical to our investigation."

Deputies say they want to talk to the six people who were on the light rail train in case they saw anything on the train, or at the light rail platform the night of Nov. 5.

Anyone with any information about the identities of passengers on the train is urged to call the Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office at 303-795-4711 immediately.

Deputies say neighbors near the location where Graham's body was found reported hearing shots around midnight on Friday morning. Authorities plan to fire blanks in different areas of the neighborhood to try to pinpoint where the shooting occurred.
