DENVER — One teen is dead and two others wounded in three separate shootings in Denver, Aurora and Lakewood Friday night and early Saturday morning.

A juvenile suspect was arrested in connection with the fatal Denver shooting.

The Denver shooting happened in the 3800 block of Walnut Street, near the city’s River North Art District (RiNo), according to a Denver police social media post.

Police arrived at the scene around 10:30 p.m. after receiving a 911 call reporting a shooting. They located the 17-year-old male victim and paramedics transported him to the hospital where he was later pronounced deceased, according to police.

The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner will release the victim’s identity at a later time.
