Denver teen arrested in fatal shooting at Highland Hollows Park in Aurora
A 17-year-old Denver girl was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder, attempted murder and assault after a fatal shooting at Highland Hollows Park in Aurora in July.
Aurora police responded to the park in the 1400 block of South Uravan Street around 9:15 p.m. to reports of a shooting and found that “numerous” young people were attending a party when a fight broke out.
Two 14-year-old girls and one 15-year-old girl were injured in the shooting and taken to the hospital. One of the 14-year-old girls, Kamiaya Keyera Cleveland, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Aurora police arrested the 17-year-old girl on Friday while she was in custody in another jurisdiction on an unrelated case, agency officials said in a news release. Her name has not been released because she is a juvenile.
She was arrested on suspicion of one count of first-degree murder; 10 counts each of first-degree attempted murder and attempted assault; and counts of felony menacing, tampering with evidence and illegal firearm use.
Investigators do not believe there are any other suspects in the case, Aurora police said Tuesday.
