ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — The Adams County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a double shooting that left a juvenile male dead and wounded a man Saturday night.

It happened around 11:18 p.m. inside Rotella Park at 1824 Coronado Parkway S.

Deputies were called to the park after receiving 911 calls concerning shots fired.

Upon arriving, deputies found a juvenile male deceased. The second victim, an adult male, was shot in the leg.

The identity of the juvenile victim has not been released.

Officials said the incident began with a disturbance involving 7 or more juveniles and said during the disturbance one of those involved pulled out a gun and shot the two victims.

They also add they are having a "difficult time getting credible and matching information from those involved that we have identified and interviewed."

The sheriff’s office said investigators are interviewing witnesses and family members to get a better understanding of what led up to the shooting. On Monday morning, the sheriff's office said the incident "involved all juveniles and we are having a lack of cooperation and consistency in information from our interviews over the weekend."

Suspect information was not available.

Anybody with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at 303-288-1535 or its detective tip line at 720-523-4847.
