The Coloradoan reports 26-year-old Emilio Nunez-Bahena, 24-year-old Veronica Nunez and 45-year-old Emilio Nunez-Torrez were arrested in Fort Collins early Saturday on suspicion of first-degree murder.
A farmer in southwest Kansas contacted local police after finding a body in a field Oct. 1. The victim, 21-year-old Bayron Diaz-Bautista of Fort Collins, had been shot multiple times.
Melissa Underwood, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, says the three suspects knew Diaz-Bautista and were living in Fort Collins when they were arrested. They are expected to be extradited to Kansas.
Jail documents do not indicate if the three have hired attorneys.
