Following a week-long trial and five hours of deliberation, a Jefferson County jury found Charlie Robert Brammeier, 32, guilty for the death of Lakewood resident Timothy Gomez, 43.
Verdicts came in on April 26, and the jury found Brammeier guilty of two counts of murder, burglary, aggravated robbery and aggravated motor vehicle theft. All are felony charges.
At 11:45 a.m. on Aug. 4, 2014 Lakewood police responded to 1250 S. Pierce St. and found Gomez lying on the couch after being brutally assaulted. Gomez was transported to the hospital where he was treated for a traumatic head injury, multiple facial fractures and subdural bleeding. He died on Aug. 22, 2014.
One of Gomez's three roommates reported she was awakened at 11:30 a.m. by another roommate who had witnessed part of the assault, and as she was dialing 911, Brammeier came back into the house, took money from Gomez's pockets and retrieved the Mag-Lite he had used as a bludgeon, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said.
Brammeier went to his parent's home in Larkspur where he broke in, stole property, then left Colorado. He was located in Hartley County, Texas, on Aug. 5, 2014 and extradited to Jefferson County.
During his trial, Brammeier testified that he was angry about a $20 drug transaction. His defense was that he was in a crack cocaine-induced psychosis when he bludgeoned Mr. Gomez with the Mag-Lite.
