Suspect pleads guilty in string of carjackings that left man dead

The murder of Carlos Albarracin was part of an hour-long string of crimes that also included seven other carjackings and two home invasions, police said at the time.Andrew Jacobs, 34, pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder, two counts of aggravated robbery, and three violent crime sentence enhancers, according to court documents. Sixty other charges were dismissed as part of the plea agreement. He is set to be sentenced Nov. 14.

Police said Jacobs shot and killed Carlos Albarracin while he was sitting in his pickup truck at the Florida Station Apartments in Aurora on Nov. 10, 2021. Albarracin's 6-year-old son was also in the truck at the time, but was able to get out unharmed before Jacobs left in it. The murder was part of an hour-long string of crimes that also included seven other carjackings and two home invasions, police said at the time.

Jacobs was taken into custody after crashing two stolen cars about an hour after the crimes started, police said at the time. He suffered serious injuries in the crashes., Jacobs was interviewed the next day at the hospital. When a detective told him they were investigating a series of incidents from the day before, Jacobs immediately said he"had been high" and"was running from us" and running from"them," the affidavit said.

When the detective told him he was in custody on suspicion of first-degree murder, he asked if he had killed someone, according to the affidavit, because he"did not recall the day before at all." Jacobs then said to"tell the family he was sorry," the affidavit said. The victim's wife, Angela Arismendi, told 9NEWS at the time that she and her husband had moved to Colorado from Colombia seven months prior. They were looking for a better and safer life for themselves and their son, she said.
