DENVER (KDVR) — Denver police have arrested a 21-year-old man in connection to a Saturday night shooting in LoDo that left four people injured just blocks from Coors Field.
The shooting happened near the intersection of 20th and Market streets and was reported by Denver police at 12:22 a.m. on X. Police initially believed there were three victims, but later Sunday afternoon, they located a fourth victim.
On Thursday, the Denver Police Department announced that Damion Britt, 21, was arrested and being held on “multiple charges,” including four counts of investigation of attempted murder.
The agency said that the final charges will be determined by the Denver District Attorney’s Office.
FOX31’s Kasia Kerridge was at the scene on Sunday morning after the shooting and described a trashed scene with a lot of beer bottles where the shooting happened.
A witness told Kerridge that hundreds of people were in the area when the shooting happened.
“I was ordering a hot dog, and next thing that I heard ‘pop, pop,’ like ten different shots, and I saw three people fall to the ground,” Patrick Dickman told Kerridge. “It was chaos.”
The agency also said that investigators believe Britt and the “primary” victim had engaged in a verbal altercation that escalated into the shooting. The agency said the other three people injured were bystanders.
