AURORA | Police have made an arrest in the March 16 slaying of a popular 53-year-old man found slain in a front yard near East Colfax Avenue and Havana Street.
Jeffrey Foos, 49, was arrested March 27, 11 days after Timothy Blackburn, 53, was found dead in front of a home in the 10300 block of East 16th Avenue, a block northwest of Colfax and Havana.
Police said Friday that Foos and Blackburn were “acquaintances,” but declined to discuss further details about the case.
Foos, who is being held without bond at the Adams County Jail, is due in court May 20 for a preliminary hearing, according to court records.
Police have not said how Blackburn was killed.
In the days after Blackburn’s slaying, police released his mug shot in hopes that someone would recognize the well-known northwest Aurora resident who went by the nicknames “Bird” and “Birdman.”
According to state records, Foos has been arrested dozens of times since the early 1980s on charges including assault, failure to appear in court and harassment.
Police did not release Foos’ mug shot Friday.
