DENVER | A 13-year-old boy is accused of fatally shooting a man whose leg was blocking the aisle on a Denver RTD bus, police said Friday.

The boy, whose name has not been released because he is a juvenile, got into a “verbal exchange” with the 60-year-old victim before shooting him on the bus in southwest Denver on Jan. 27, police said in a statement.

A second person suffered minor injuries that did not require hospitalization.

The suspect was arrested Thursday and was being held for investigation on suspicion of first-degree murder.

No other information was released, and the probable cause statement was not publicly available because the suspect is a minor.

  1. Thank you, DPD, for finding and arresting the criminal.
    Needs to be in prison the rest of his life to protect us from him.
    From where did he acquire the gun?
