Denver7's Brandon Richard reported that police expanded the crime scene to include the parking lot of Daddy’s Liquor and Mickey’s Top Sirloin, which posted on social media that they would be closed Sunday.
Teens who talked Richard said the party was Halloween themed and the event was posted on Facebook. They told Denver7 that there were at least 100 teens and young adults attending the party at the time of the shooting.
A 17-year-old boy who was inside the home at the time of the incident described the chaos when shots rang out.
"I heard people running, gunshots, screaming. At first I got a little bit scared. I [saw] people running to the bathroom. The shooting was happening outside," he said.
No arrests have been announced and suspect information was not available. No other details were immediately known.
This is the second deadly house party shooting that occurred in the Denver area over the weekend. One person was killed, and two others wounded during a shooting at a house party Saturday night in the 1600 block of S. Beach Court in Denver's Ruby Hill neighborhood.
