COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A man who was spotted driving a homicide victim’s SUV in June is now charged with murder for her death.

Joseph Tyler Kimsey, 22, was arrested in Cañon City June 30. At the time, he was driving an SUV that was stolen from 27-year-old Ashley Melnyczok, who was found stabbed to death in a northeastern Colorado Springs apartment June 3. Kimsey was wanted in El Paso County for failure to appear on numerous crimes, including fraud, vehicle theft, dangerous drugs, and several traffic violations. He was not charged in connection with the motor vehicle theft.
