DENVER — A man is in custody following a fatal shooting Thursday evening in Denver's College View South Platte neighborhood, according to a tweet from the Denver Police Department (DPD).
The agency first said in a tweet just before 10 p.m. Thursday that officers responded to a shooting in the 2700 block of West Harvard Avenue and located one victim. That's a few blocks east of the intersection of South Federal Boulevard and West Harvard Avenue in southwest Denver.
That victim, an adult man, was later pronounced, DPD said. He was identified Tuesday as 62-year-old Alfred Vasquez and the coroner ruled that he died from multiple gunshot wounds.
An adult man was taken into custody in connection with the shooting, but no other information has been released.
