A 17-year-old suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting that killed 14-year-old Kamiaya Cleveland and injured two other people at an Aurora park last month, the Aurora Police Department said.
Police said the shooting happened around 9:15 p.m. July 6, after a fight broke out during a party at Highlands Hollow Park on South Uravan Street. Three victims, a 15-year-old girl and two 14-year-old girls, were taken to the hospital. Kamiaya died shortly after arriving at the hospital.
Police said Tuesday that a 17-year-old Denver girl was arrested Friday in connection with the shooting. She was arrested on charges including murder, attempted murder and attempted assault, according to police.
Police said the suspect was in custody in another jurisdiction for an unrelated case when investigators contacted her last week. Because she is under 18, her name is not being released.
Police said they are not looking for any other suspects right now, but they continue to investigate the case.
