Juvenile arrested for attempted first-degree murder after September shooting at Briarwood Park in Pueblo

PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- A juvenile has been charged with attempted first-degree murder after the Pueblo Police Department (PPD) says a person was injured in a shooting at Briarwood Park in September.

According to PPD, officers first received a shots-fired call on September 12 around 2:30 a.m. about a group of juveniles in Briarwood Park.

Officers say they found one person suffering from a gunshot wound when they arrived at the park. That person was taken to a local hospital in serious, but stable condition at the time. PPD says detectives from its Special Investigations Division, Non-Fatal Shoot team started an investigation.

They say they later identified a suspect and obtained an arrest warrant. PPD says they served the warrant on October 8 at the Pueblo Youth Corrections Facility.

The juvenile was already in custody for an unrelated incident at Ray Aguilera Park where they had an illegally modified firearm, according to PPD.

They are now facing an additional charge of attempted first-degree murder/extreme indifference. PPD says the investigation is still active and ongoing.
