Officers closed off an area outside the parking garage at the station with crime tape and referred to the case as a death investigation. The station is located at 9th and Sheridan Boulevard in Denver.

A police spokesman said it wasn't clear if the shooting happened in the parking area or closer to the light rail trains pickup and dropoff areas.

Police say there is no ongoing search for a suspect.
