Suspect accused of murdering woman in Denver last week turns himself in to police
Posted at 10:58 AM, Mar 05, 2021 and last updated 11:58 AM, Mar 05, 2021

DENVER — The suspect wanted in connection to the murder of a woman set to testify in the Donthe Lucas trial turned himself in on Thursday night, Denver police said Friday.

Emmanuel Chandler, 29, was wanted in connection to the murder of 31-year-old Roxann Martinez, who was shot to death on Feb. 25 near the intersection of E. Kenyon Drive and S. Wabash Street.

The department said Friday morning that Chandler turned himself in on Thursday evening and was being held for investigation of first-degree murder.

A Denver Police Department spokesperson said her death appeared to be "the result of a domestic violence-related incident.”

Prosecution rests case Friday in Lucas murder trial, Defense will begin calling witnesses Monday

PUEBLO — The Pueblo murder trial in the disappearance of 21-year-old Kelsie Schelling continued Friday morning with a second interview played in court that was recorded by the Pueblo Police Department with Donthe Lucas.

The audio recording of the first interview after Lucas was arrested in November 2017 played Thursday lasted more than two hours and took up most of the time in court.
 
A second recorded interview between the Pueblo Police Department and Donthe Lucas played for the courtroom Friday morning. This interview took place one day after the jailhouse interview heard Thursday.

Sgt. Cody Wager and Detective Randy Purvis conducted this interview with Lucas after his arrest at Denver International Airport in November 2017.

News5's Andy Koen reports the biggest takeaway from this audio recording was that Lucas denied being involved in the death or disappearance of Schelling while they told him his and Schelling's phones were hitting off a tower in Beulah the night she disappeared.

Jury begins deliberation Monday in Donthe Lucas murder trial for disappearance of Kelsie Schelling
Published: Mar. 8, 2021 at 11:03 AM CST|Updated: 3 hours ago

PUEBLO, Colo. (KKTV) - The jury has begun deliberation in the Donthe Lucas murder trial for the disappearance of Kelsie Schelling.

The prosecution rested their case on Friday after dozens of witnesses testified in the last three weeks. The defense was expected to bring in witnesses Monday, but rested their case without a single witness.

Closing arguments finished shortly after on Monday morning. The jury could deliberate anywhere from a few hours, to a few weeks.

Jury now deliberating fate of Donthe Lucas after 2013 murder of Kelsie Schelling
Posted: Mar 8, 2021 / 11:53 AM MST / Updated: Mar 8, 2021 / 12:02 PM MST
 
In the proseuction’s closing statements, they pointed to the amount of time Lucas would have had – between the time Schelling was discovered missing to the time she was killed: five days, they said.

They accused Lucas of sending deceptive texts to Schelling’s friends and family from the dead woman’s phone.

“He’s stalling. He’s stalling friends, he’s stalling the family, he’s stalling coworkers,” a prosecuting attorney said to the jury. “Why? Because the longer he stalls, the longer is takes to get to the police so they can do their job.”

And they pointed to a strained relationship between Schelling and Lucas, made even more fraught by the news of Schelling’s pregnancy.

Kelsie Schelling's mother, Laura Saxton, was seen leaving the courthouse shortly after the jury received the case. She declined to comment as a gag order is still in place for all parties involved.

Donthe Lucas faces a maximum of life in prison if convicted of first-degree murder. The death penalty was not considered in this case.
