THORNTON, Colo. — Thornton Police said a 26-year-old man was arrested in connection to a shooting that killed a 22-year-old man Saturday morning.
Officers responded around 12:50 a.m. to a shooting at the Topgolf in the 16000 block of Grant Street.
The 22-year-old victim was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, and a short time later police said he was pronounced dead.
Investigators believe the shooting happened during a disturbance between employees in the parking lot.
Police said the suspect was identified as 26-year-old Victor Salazar-Guarche, who was taken into custody later without incident by Weld County Sheriff's Office deputies.
Salazar-Guarche was booked into the Adams County jail on suspicion of homicide, police said.
The victim's identity and cause of death will be released by the Adams County Corner's Office after an autopsy and notification of next of kin.
Topgolf said the location will closed until Tuesday, and released the following statement:
"We are shocked and heartbroken by the incident that occurred in our Thornton venue parking lot, and we grieve for those impacted by this senseless act. We are cooperating fully with law enforcement agencies, whom we appreciate greatly, and we are focused on providing support to our Topgolf team during this difficult time. As this is an ongoing police investigation, we will not be commenting further at this time. We also want to salute all other first responders who assisted with skill and care."
Topgolf also said it is offering counseling services to its teams.
