DENVER — Denver police have arrested a juvenile in connection with a fatal shooting near a house party in early September.
Because the arrested individual is a juvenile, his name and age have not been released.

DPD said their preliminary investigation found that there was a house party in the area that spilled out into a parking lot, where the shooting happened.
After further investigation, DPD identified the suspect, who was arrested on Thursday and is being held for investigation of first-degree murder.
