Denver Police arrested a man Wednesday accused of murdering a man in front of his home after robbing him, then burglarizing his house. 

Officers arrested Stig Strong, 33, on suspicion of first-degree murder, aggravated robbery and second-degree burglary. 

Investigators found Johnathan Douglas, 34, dead shortly before 7 a.m. Tuesday in the 1200 block of Mariposa Street. The location is in Denver’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. They had responded to a report of a person down.

A pedestrian called 911 to report a man laying on the ground, covered by a blue sheet with only his arm out, and the doors of the house he was in front of open, according to the arrest affidavit. 

Officers found “some type of bar nearby” the body. The victim lay face down in a pool of blood. 

“The decedent’s pockets appeared to have been pulled inside out,” according to the affidavit. 

Douglas’ phone, wallet and keys were missing. He suffered facial fractures, “numerous lacerations and other injuries consistent with blunt force trauma,” according to the affidavit.

Officers used video from High Activity Location Services (HALO) and spotted the man in the area of the house. They then found video from nearby businesses and the man was seen 20 minutes after the murder “pulling out a large sum of cash and it appeared to have possible blood on his hands.”

They identified Strong and arrested him on outstanding warrants. He had Douglas’ car and house keys, according to the affidavit.

Michael DiMartino, a neighbor of Douglas and his roommate who has lived in the area since early December, said he didn’t recognize Strong based on a photo found online. He didn’t know Douglas well, but met him in passing a few times and said he seemed like “a really nice guy.”

The crime has left DiMartino and other residents shaken — Douglas’ body was found just a few steps from DiMartino’s door — but he said the fact that he doesn’t recognize Strong from the neighborhood tells him the incident doesn’t indicate a larger problem of violence in the area.

“It’s comforting to know it doesn’t seem to be a neighborhood issue, if that makes sense.”

He added he’s glad the incident didn’t involve the homeless population since they’re already frequently targets of violence. Other residents have offered support to DiMartino’s 17-year-old daughter, whom he lives with, to make sure she always feels safe.

“We’re all just a little sad and scared.”
