Attempted murder warrant issued in Colorado for man charged in Utah with freeway shootout with police

Colorado authorities have issued an arrest warrant for a man who shot and wounded another man last month, an episode that occurred two days before the suspect allegedly exchanged gunfire with police while driving on Interstate 15 in Utah County.

Arturo Ray Gallemore-Jimenez, 37, is accused of attempted murder for shooting the 25-year-old man in the back in Aurora because the man took too long to return a borrowed pickup truck, according to an arrest warrant affidavit filed Friday in Arapahoe County District Court.

The victim told police he had met Gallemore-Jimenez near an Aurora hotel the evening of Dec.
