Just before 1pm on Tuesday, Wheat Ridge and Westminster police showed up at the Ramada Inn at 4700 Kipling Street.
They came looking for Gary Haney to arrest him for identity theft, criminal impersonation, and forgery.
Haney refused to open the door and stated he was armed.
Guests at the hotel were then evacuated.
After nine hours of standoff, SWAT forced entry into the room and shots were fired after Haney made threatening gestures with his weapon.
He was later declared dead at St. Anthony's Central Hospital, in Lakewood.
No officers were injured in the incident.
Two nation wide warrants were out for Haney, and it is unclear why he was in Colorado.
