Mesa County, Colo.

In an arrest affidavit released Thursday, 27-year-old murder suspect Sahr Benjamin Mbawa may have admitted to the crime. Mbawa is accused of killing 32-year-old Richard Martinez in a fight at Quincy’s bar. The affidavit states that Mbawa and a friend went to a Clifton gas station shortly after the fight, where Mbawa said, “I got that guy.”

A store clerk also overheard the suspect say, “I beat his ### and I think I killed him.”

According to witness accounts, a friend of Mbawa told police he witnessed the fight and saw Mbawa punch and kick Martinez. Mbawa is still on the loose as of Thursday, and is considered dangerous. Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers at 241-STOP.

A memorial fund has been set up for Richard Martinez, Jr. Donations can be made at the Grand Junction Federal Credit Union at 910 Main Street. Donations should be made out to the Martinez Family Fund.
