A Denver man will spend his life in prison after killing two people on the South Platte River Trail.

A Denver District judge sentenced Tanner Fielder to life in prison without the possibility of parole Monday in connection to the 2023 deaths of 43-year-old Jeremy Hutcheson and 31-year-old Lluvia Robles-Banuelos, according to a news release from the Denver District Attorney’s Office.

Robles-Banuelos was found dead just after midnight on Sept. 6, 2023 on the South Platte River Trail under Interstate 70, near East 45th Avenue and North Washington Street.

Hutcheson was found dead shortly after midnight on Sept. 9, 2023 on the South Platte River Trail near West Florida Avenue.

After the murders, the Denver Police Department said it was likely both victims were homeless and that the shootings were linked.

Fielder was eventually arrested on Sept. 14, 2023 after forensics linked him to the deaths. He was found in Blackhawk and arrested without incident, the department said.

A jury found Fielder guilty of two counts of first-degree murder on Oct. 10.

“Tanner Fielder murdered two innocent, unarmed people — Jeremy Hutcheson and Lluvia Robles-Banuelos — whose deaths were a senseless tragedy. Today’s sentence ensures that Fielder will never walk the streets of Denver again and, for that, we should all be grateful,” District Attorney John Walsh said in the news release.
