1 dead, 2 injured in shooting in Denver's Park Hill neighborhood

Police in Denver investigated a shooting that left one person dead and two others injured on Wednesday morning. According to investigators, the shooting happened in the 2000 block of North Oneida Street after 10 a.m.

Police said when officers arrived on scene in the Park Hill neighborhood, three victims were located and transported to the hospital. 

Investigators said that an adult male died and two other victims were injured and expected to survive. They said it appeared the shooting was a family-related incident.

The shooting happened near the Denver School of the Arts, which is located near a neighborhood business area with restaurants and offices. 

Inside the cordoned-off area with police crime scene tape, there was a black Hyundai sedan and a Dependable Cleaners van. It was unclear how, if at all, those vehicles were part of the investigation. 

Denver Public Schools issued this statement, "The school was placed into a secure perimeter, but students had a late start and were not present. We did a controlled entry to allow students into the school by showing their student ID. The secure perimeter has been lifted."

Police said they are "actively working to identify and locate a suspect."

Duane Ingram lives close to where the shooting happened and said violent incidents hardly ever happen in his neighborhood. He has lived there for several decades.

"I can't think of another incident where the cops came in the neighborhood here," he said.

Ingram said he and someone he was with heard "somewhere around 16 to 20 shots." He described the scene as "frantic."

Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867).
