Two people were arrested on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder Saturday after police say they were involved in the shooting that wounded a man Tuesday near Denver’s West High School.
Jeison Urbina-Mancia, 18, and Gerardo Martinez Navarette, 21, allegedly knew the victim, and Denver police wrote in a social media post that the shooting may have been related to a prior conflict.
The shooting in the 800 block of Elati Street put the high school on a secure-perimeter status for about an hour Tuesday afternoon. Police said at the time that the victim was not a student.
Both suspects were detained at Denver’s downtown detention center as of Saturday afternoon, according to jail records.
