Has this been slipping under the radar? Worth a dig imo. https://www.9news.com/article/news/crime/suspects-at-maven-hotel-had-guns-drugs-cash-in-their-rooms/73-da9c8a37-9c29-4a8c-8a70-f6d4f211a58b
"I might have done some stupid things in my life, but murder is not one," Gabriel Rodriguez said. "Stabbing is not one. I’ve never done that. I’m sorry I sold drugs. I’m sorry I did that."
Gabriel Rodriquez, along with Kanoelehua Serikawa, 43, and Ricardo Rodriguez, 44, appeared in court on Monday. Richard Platt, 42, had his first court appearance on Sunday.
At the appearances in Denver County Court, the Denver District Attorney's Office labeled Ricardo Rodriguez as the leader of the group, who rented two rooms at the hotel.
Ricardo Rodriguez also spoke to 9NEWS on Monday and said he was at that hotel so that he could take part in some of the festivities around All Star Week but never intended to harm anyone and wasn't involved in the alleged drug deal.
"I was there to enjoy the festivities. I was going to try and enjoy and All Star ball game, at least from the outskirts of it," he said. "It would never be my intentions to sit there and fire live rounds into an audience where families are present wanting to have fun."
