DENVER – The state’s new U.S. attorney is calling the Ute Mountain Indian reservation the “murder capital of Colorado,” with a murder rate 50 times the national average.U.S. Attorney Troy Eld told the Rocky Mountain News there is “great despair” on the reservation in southwestern Colorado. Law enforcement on the 600,000-acre reservation is so limited that officers often face an hour drive to a crime scene, and the lone FBI agent assigned to the region can many times be stuck in Denver on a case when he is needed back at the reservation, more than seven-hour’s drive away. Authorities so far this year have recorded five killings and an unexplained death among the reservation’s 2,000 residents. That’s a homicide rate of 250 deaths per 100,000 people – 25 times Denver’s rate last year.
