DENVER — A 13-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of murder in connection to a shooting on an RTD bus Saturday night that killed one man and injured another, Denver Police said Friday.

Officers responded around 6:41 p.m. to the shooting near South Federal Boulevard and West Mississippi Avenue.

One man, identified as 60-year-old Richard Sanchez by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner, was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds where he died. A second victim was treated for a minor injury and released at the scene.

Investigators believe the incident began as an argument between the suspect and Sanchez about Sanchez's leg blocking the aisle, which ended with the suspect shooting Sanchez, according to police.

The suspect was taken into custody Thursday night on suspicion of first-degree murder. The Denver District Attorney's Office will make the final determination on the potential filing of any charges.

The suspect is not being identified because he is a juvenile.

DPD said the bus belongs to Transdev, a contractor for RTD.
