Multiple sources confirmed to Denver7 Investigates that Walter Huling, 31, was the driver of the Toyota Matrix that caused the fatal crash Monday. Court documents show he was out on parole
The man who caused a fatal crash Monday along Highway 83 near Franktown was on parole and had a lengthy criminal record dating back to at least 2013, Denver7 Investigates learned.
Multiple sources close to the investigation confirmed to Denver7 Investigates that Walter Huling, 31, was the man driving a stolen Toyota Matrix hatchback when he lost control and slammed into a Ford sedan in the oncoming lane. Huling was killed along with four people in the sedan, including three juveniles.
The victims killed in the sedan were identified as 35-year-old father Alvin Corado, Toretto Corado, 8, Makenlee Corado, 12, and Jase Green, 12.
Huling was the only deceased party in the crash not identified, but law enforcement did say that the Toyota Matrix was reported stolen from RTD’s Nine Mile station in Aurora roughly an hour before the crash.
The victim in the theft said a man pulled her from her car and drove away after she refused to give him a ride.
Court documents show Huling had a long criminal history, including two stints in prison at the Colorado Department of Corrections.
“I mean, it’s an 11-page criminal history that dates back to when this guy was a juvenile,” said George Brauchler, district attorney for the 23rd Judicial District, where the accident occurred.
Denver7 Investigates took the information to Brauchler, who is questioning the system that allowed Huling to get back on the streets.
“This guy’s criminal history and the fact that he appears to have been on parole and this happened seems like we are failing the community,” Brauchler said.
Public records show that Huling was first arrested on assault charges in 2013 at age 18. He had 15 subsequent arrests over the next six years on charges ranging from false reporting, bribery, burglary, contempt of court, driving under the influence, parole violations and multiple other assaults.
In 2019, he was sentenced to six years in prison related to an assault in downtown Denver after he knocked a man unconscious and assaulted the man’s wife. He was also charged with assaulting the police officer who arrested him.
Denver7 Investigates has reached out to the Colorado Department of Corrections for information on the conditions of Huling’s parole, but has not yet heard back.
“I think there’s a lot of justifiable anger and questions that should go on after a case like this,” Brauchler said. “I’ve got questions for the state of Colorado, especially a guy that was on parole after he had a parole violation, and those questions have to be stern, and that is, ‘What are we doing?’ Who are you putting out here on the streets?”
Wouldn’t we all be better off with the perp executed, ASAP?
The only good thing about this, is that the perp died in the crash.
Hey, it’s Colorado. At least he is/was an American criminal.
/sarc
There's really no downside to executing these violent repeat offenders. I mean, it's not like this guy was every going to turn his life around and become a productive member of society.
Why trouble ourselves with such people? Hang him from a tree. His family can cut him down and bury him. Or let the buzzards do their thing.
Anyhow, he's dead now so it's a moot point but four other people would still be alive if we had hung him after his last violent crime.
Or more likely if that had been done years ago, after what was probably his tenth violent crime.
THEM
The wrong people almost always die in incidents like this.
Doing the harmful action jobs illegals don't feel like doing.
There's one in every crowd. Can't satisfy some people who want that safety for citizens and locking up criminals instead of letting them go to commit more crimes.
AOC and the Squad have given statements that the prison should be emptied and the "incarcerated individuals" should be released. Some with social worker counseling. All with aid to better their lives.
AOC..."shone a spotlight on the prison abolition movement when she pointed out that mass incarceration in America “is a system whose logic evolved from the same lineage is Jim Crow, American apartheid, & slavery.”" "Ocasio-Cortez went on to address the divided reactions to the notion of “prison abolition,” a political vision with the goal of ending incarceration through the creation of alternatives to imprisonment." “The right is already freaking out,” she wrote on Twitter."

Rope and a tree.
If he is executed, he cannot be pardoned later, if the political party in charge changes.
The KILLER is BLACK!!!! I am SHOCKED!!
