ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) is asking for help identifying several suspects that may have been involved in the shooting of a 16-year-old boy at an apartment complex earlier this month.
The teen was shot in the back around 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 1 while riding in the back of a silver Chevy Suburban. The shooting took place at an apartment complex near East Florida Avenue and South Beeler Street, according to the ACSO.
Three armed suspects were seen running from the area; they got into a dark-colored sedan and drove away, the Sheriff's Office said.
Investigators did not say if the teen was targeted.
