Colorado Parolee With an 11-Page Rap Sheet Kills Three Kids, Adult in Denver [WATCH]

The man accused of causing a crash that killed five people on a Denver highway, including himself, had an extensive criminal history spanning more than a decade and was out on parole at the time of the incident.

The collision occurred [3] on Monday when Walter Huling, 31, swerved into oncoming traffic while driving a stolen Toyota Matrix hatchback and struck a Ford sedan.

Huling died at the scene.

Four people inside the sedan were killed, including three juveniles.

Court documents obtained by Denver7 show that Huling had been arrested at least 16 times since 2013 on charges including assault, false reporting, bribery, burglary, contempt of court, driving under the influence, parole violation, and additional assault-related offenses. Records also show he had a significant history as a juvenile.

In 2019, Huling received a six-year prison sentence following a downtown Denver assault.

According to court documents, he attacked a man and rendered him unconscious before assaulting the man’s wife.

When police responded, Huling physically attacked the officer taking him into custody.

George Brauchler, district attorney for Judicial District 23, commented on the case and the concerns surrounding Huling’s criminal record.

He told the network that the circumstances appeared “like we are failing the community,” noting Huling’s long history “and the fact that he appears to have been on parole.”

Brauchler added, “I mean, it’s an 11-page criminal history that dates back to when this guy was a juvenile.”

Authorities identified the four victims killed in the sedan as Alvin Corado, 35, Toretto Corado, 8, Makenlee Corado, 12, and Jase Green, 12.

Law enforcement reported that roughly an hour before the crash, a Toyota Matrix hatchback had been reported stolen from RTD’s Nine Mile station in Aurora, Colorado.

The vehicle matched the one Huling was driving when he crossed into oncoming traffic.
