Understanding Homicide Charges in Colorado

Under Colorado law, homicide refers to the unlawful killing of another person and includes a range of offenses with varying degrees of intent, circumstances, and penalties. These charges are codified primarily under Title 18, Article 3 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (C.R.S. § 18-3-101 et seq.), and include:

• First-Degree Murder (C.R.S. § 18-3-102): Involves intentional and premeditated killing. This is a Class 1 felony and can carry life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty (though capital punishment is effectively abolished for crimes committed after July 1, 2020).

• Second-Degree Murder (C.R.S. § 18-3-103): Covers intentional but non-premeditated killings. Classified as a Class 2 felony, it carries potential penalties of 16 to 48 years in prison.

• Manslaughter (C.R.S. § 18-3-104): Applies when someone recklessly causes the death of another person, or intentionally causes or aids another person to commit suicide. This is a Class 4 felony, punishable by 2 to 6 years in prison.

• Criminally Negligent Homicide (C.R.S. § 18-3-105): Involves causing someone’s death through criminal negligence rather than intent or recklessness. It is a Class 5 felony with penalties ranging from 1 to 3 years in prison.

• Vehicular Homicide (C.R.S. § 18-3-106): Charged when a person operates a motor vehicle in a reckless manner or under the influence of drugs or alcohol, resulting in another person’s death. Depending on the circumstances, this can be a Class 3 or Class 4 felony.

Each of these charges carries serious consequences, including substantial prison time, permanent felony convictions, and lifelong collateral effects such as the loss of civil rights, firearm prohibitions, and limited employment or housing opportunities.

Early Legal Representation Is Critical

If you are being investigated or have already been charged with homicide in El Paso County or anywhere in Southern Colorado, do not speak to law enforcement without legal counsel. Prosecutors are already building a case against you—often before an arrest is even made. You need an attorney who will act immediately to protect your rights, secure critical evidence, and begin preparing a defense.
