Two people were arrested on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder Saturday after Denver police say they were involved in the shooting that wounded a West High School student Tuesday.
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 school on a secure-perimeter status for about an hour Tuesday afternoon. Denver Public Schools spokesperson Scott Pribble later confirmed that the victim is an 18-year-old West High School senior, despite Denver police reporting initially that he was not a student.
Both suspects were detained at Denver’s downtown detention center as of Saturday afternoon, according to jail records.
