THORNTON, Colo. (KDVR) — The Thornton Police Department is searching for a suspect after a 69-year-old man died from injuries sustained by being punched and kicked on Christmas Day.

Thornton PD said officers found the man at Thirsty’s Sports Pub at 1294 E 104th Ave. around 9:59 p.m.

He had been seriously injured after backing into the suspect’s car, TPD said. The man was taken to a local hospital and died the next day, police said.

His identity was being withheld until a positive identification was made by the Adams County Coroner’s Office.

The suspect was described as a white man with long red/blond hair and a red/blond medium beard. He was also described as being between 5 feet and 5-8 inches tall, according to Thornton PD.

He was last seen wearing a black and green tie-dyed shirt, dark pants and black shoes.

The suspect reportedly left the scene in a red Jeep Grand Cherokee with a black vinyl-wrapped hood and large roof rack. The vehicle may have fresh damage on its front, TPD said.
