The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office reports some new evidence has led them to a second suspect in a recent murder.

Clay Eldred was shot to death earlier this week during a run in with security at the American Iron and Metal Plant.

Deputies arrested plant security guard Ronald Lee Galvan Friday.

Investigators believe Galvan and their first suspect, David Noriega, tampered with evidence at the scene. Officials reported Friday statements given by Noriega and Galvan were inconsistent with evidence found at the scene.

Galvan was arrested on accessory charges to murder and booked with a $150,000 bond.

i feel the owner should be held liable and charged as well considering he put an untrained, unlicensed armed security guard on that site. Had he been trained and licensed all this would never had happened and to try and cover it up as even worse. If he was having so much trouble the owner should have hired a licensed security officer. Was the guy even trained to use the firearm or even have a permit to carry? I feel for the famiy, and am sorry. I am military and a licensed armed security officer on the side. As I said this shooting should have never happened. And also any security office rknows to notify the authorities and not to do anything but be an informant or credible witness unless they are in a life threatening situation then they can act and this was not life threatening and also who gives warning shots?
