North Denver Murder Suspect Identified

DENVER (CBS4) - A man accused of shooting and killing a man in a north Denver home has been identified.

Samuel Grady, 62, was found dead near the intersection of 49th and Green Court on Wednesday night.

Police found and arrested Chad Baluska, 39, on Thursday. He was reportedly slumped over in a truck that was reported as stolen from the scene.

Officers won't say if the suspect and the victim knew each other.

Former state Rep. Frana Mace lived on the property until her death in March at age 80. Family members told CBS4 Grady had been living in the carriage house on Mace' s property. He was the ex-husband of Mace's daughter.

A booking photo of Baluska will be released at a later time, according to police.
