On June 13, 2023, a mass shooting in Downtown Denver, Colorado, United States, injured 10 people, including one of the suspects who was arrested.[2] According to Denver police and investigators, the shooting had overtones related to drug sales and conflicts.
Shooting
In the early morning of June 13, 2023, many crowds gathered in Downtown Denver, Colorado, United States, to celebrate the recent NBA Finals win by the Denver Nuggets.[3] The shooting occurred in the 2000 block of Market Street at around 12:30 am, about three and a half hours after the game. Police believe the shooting occurred due to a drug deal gone wrong,[4] after an altercation erupted around an area near where celebratory crowds were gathered.[5]
The incident was captured on HALO camera footage, which is used in high-activity locations.[6] Officers interviewed occupants of a vehicle believed to be involved in the shooting and found a weapon on the floorboard and arrested the driver. Three more guns were discovered at the scene, with an additional one discovered on another wounded suspect.[7]
Victims
Of the 10 people injured, four are in critical condition.[8] All of the injured were expected to survive, and police identified that about five or six of the injured were otherwise uninvolved bystanders.[5]
Accused
A suspected shooter identified as a 22-year-old Ricardo Miquel Vazquez was wounded in the shooting and was arrested after a police chase. The 22-year-old was held on investigation of possession of a weapon by a previous offender, and possession of a controlled substance. Another suspect, 33-year-old Raoul Jones, was taken into custody after being discovered in a vehicle close to the shooting, and was held on investigation of possession of a weapon by a previous offender.[9][10] On June 23, another suspect, 24-year-old Kenneth Blakely was arrested in connection with the shooting.[11]
