Commerce City fatal shooting suspect was squatting at apartments, police say
The 22-year-old accused of fatally shooting a man in a Commerce City quadplex was squatting in the unrenovated unit when the shooting occurred, according to an arrest affidavit.
Finn Clark Hoover is charged with first-degree murder in the death of 37-year-old Alfredo Oscar Nunez on Nov. 30.
Hoover is also charged with vehicular eluding.
According to an arrest affidavit, Hoover was part of a group of people renovating the quadplex in the 7300 block of Oneida Drive and was staying in one of the unrenovated units with his girlfriend.
A witness said people in the apartment were sleeping when the shooting happened.
The witness told police they heard a gunshot and afterward, Hoover walked toward them and told them Nunez was a “snitch,” according to an arrest affidavit. Everyone staying inside the apartment fled after the shooting.
Nunez’s body was found by a neighbor who was also renovating the units, according to the arrest affidavit.
A Thornton police officer attempted to stop Hoover on Dec. 5 after seeing his car parked at a 7-Eleven. Hoover fled the area, crashed into a U-Haul truck, and then continued to flee, according to police.
Hoover turned himself in to Commerce City police on Dec. 27. He is in custody on a $1 million cash bail and is set to appear in court on Jan. 26.

Peyton Watson landing spots: Could Nuggets star actually leave Denver?
Denver Nuggets standout forward Peyton Watson could find himself on another team before you know it.
With the Nuggets reportedly open to a sign-and-trade of Watson, could Denver really lose a core piece to their rotation?
It’s hard to imagine many teams being able to shoulder the financial weight of a Watson contract at this point because of the aprons and such, but he’s absolutely an asset to any contending team.
We’ve gone through and identified a few teams that make sense for Watson in the fall… including the one he’s already on at the moment. Hey, he might stay home, you never know!
The Clippers have been linked to Watson as a possible destination; he could help them immensely.
The Pistons have also been linked to Watson, which would help them a lot to contend for an NBA title.
Look, HYPOTHETICALLY, the Nets could move around some cap space with some player trades and such and get a deal done. They are one of the only teams in the NBA right now not in the negative with cap space.
The Grizzlies are the team with the least amount of negative cap space right now, per Spotrac. If they really wanted to pull off a Watson sign-and-trade… it would be hypothetically possible from a money standpoint.
Denver Nuggts
Look, it’s very possible Watson just stays in Denver on a brand-new deal. Who knows at this point?

City of Denver says images of piling waste a case of illegal dumping
DENVER (KDVR) – A Denver Park Hill Resident says trash in her alley hasn’t been picked up by city-run waste collection in more than 2 months.
“It’s starting to be frustrating because that pile has been there 2.5 months, and I’m not kidding about that,” Andrea Sanders-Childs said.
A spokesperson for Denver’s Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) says they did receive a call about the address on Krameria in mid-June and are investigating the case as ‘illegal dumping’ versus ‘missed collection.’
The DOTI spokesperson says more information will be available when the inspector assigned to the area returns on Wednesday.
Sanders-Childs said that the people who live in the home closest to the mess had actually rented a dumpster; however, it was eventually picked up and towed away.
In the meantime, for Denver residents, DOTI provided FOX31 with the following reminders:
- Carts that are overfilled, stuffed or too heavy cannot be emptied
- All trash must be inside the cart, and overflow trash cannot be collected
- To report illegal dumping, call 311
