After a spree of active shootings, Denver witnessed a sharp uptick in gun violence at the beginning of August.
Between August 6 and August 8, fourteen people were shot in eight distinct incidents in downtown Denver, according to an article published in the Westword. On August 6, following the Colorado Rockies' baseball game, a concession worker was fatally shot and another man died as a result of gunshot wounds.
According to Fox News, the event occurred last Friday, and two people have been arrested and charged with first-degree murder and first-degree assault. One of the suspects allegedly got into an altercation with the victim, with the other suspect working in the stadium's concessions.
The Denver Post stated that the four males arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of an 18-year-old student outside a Denver school on Tuesday came from various Denver communities. A fifth suspect is still at large and is thought to be connected to the group's alleged crime spree.
