DENVER — A juvenile suspect has been arrested in the shooting of a teenage boy found dead in a cemetery last weekend, Denver Police said Friday.
Officers responded around 2:35 p.m. Saturday to Fairmount Cemetery, at 430 S. Quebec St., near South Quebec Street and East Alameda Avenue, and found 16-year-old Elias Garcia Tinajero dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
Investigators identified the suspect, who is a juvenile boy, and arrested him on Thursday, police said.
