NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A man was convicted of life in prison without the possibility for parole after he was found guilty of shooting and killing a woman with an AK-47 for walking her dog near his apartment.
Michael Close was found guilty for the murder of Isabella Thallas in June 2020 and given a life sentence. He was also found guilty of the attempted murder of her boyfriend, Darian Simon, and sentenced to an additional 48 years in prison.
Thallas and Simon were walking her dog near Coors Field in Denver, Colorado when the couple stopped near Close’s apartment.
Close got into a ‘verbal exchange’ with Thallas and Simon after they urged the dog to ‘go potty’ on the lawn. Simon told police that Close yelled to them from a window: ‘are you going to train your dog or just yell at it!’
