Two suspects in a Colorado homicide case were arrested Saturday in Arizona after a standoff at a home near the California state line.

The Mohave County Sheriff's Office said it was contacted by officers in Fremont County, Colorado, around 8:45 a.m. and was informed that the two suspects were at a home in Topock, a small community to the north from Lake Havasu City.

The suspects were identified as Suzzette Marie, 42, and Toni Marie Gurule, 43.

“Due to the severity of the arrest warrants and the suspects' history of non-compliance, SWAT was activated and responded to the residence,” MSCO said.

MCSO officials said SWAT arrived at the home where the suspects were located and ordered them to exit the residence. Gurule left the house after chemical agents were deployed. After a second round of chemical agent shots, Salyer left the building and both men were taken into custody without further incident.

Salyer and Gurule were two of three Fremont County residents charged April 30 with first-degree murder and kidnapping, according to the Fremont County Sheriff's Office.

The charges stem from the discovery of two bodies in Phantom Canyon, north of Florence, on February 8, 2022.
