A homicide suspect has been arrested in connection to a death at an RTD rail station.

On Wednesday officers responded to a report of a robbery at the RTD Nine Mile Station, 3181 S. Parker Road, according to an Aurora Police Department news release.

A light rail conductor reported to RTD dispatch there was an unconscious man lying on the tracks, an open backpack and personal items were also on the tracks, the release said. The man was taken to a hospital where he died Friday morning.

Daniel Maxine Tivet, 34, was arrested Friday afternoon on investigation of second-degree murder and robbery, police said. Evidence from the scene suggests the man died from injuries suffered in a fist fight with Tivet on the light rail platform. The victim will be identified by the Arapahoe County Coroner’s Office after family is notified. An investigation is ongoing.

An advisement hearing for Tivet is scheduled Tuesday morning in Arapahoe County.
