In a tragic turn of events, a young man, only 22 years old, has been apprehended by authorities for a possible charge of first-degree murder. This incident occurred at Crown Hill Cemetery, during a late-night gathering, as reported by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Upon receiving reports of a shooting, the Wheat Ridge police promptly arrived at the cemetery situated at 7777 W. 29th Ave. at around 11 p.m. on Saturday. Upon their arrival, they discovered a man with a gunshot wound and a woman with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the sheriff's office's official statement.
The unfortunate news comes after a string of other violent crimes in the area, including the death of a woman in City Park West, which the Denver police are investigating as a homicide. In a separate incident, a former MMA fighter and community activist from Aurora has been charged with murder in what is believed to be a revenge killing. Another case involves an Adams County man who allegedly ran over a pedestrian after a fight and is now facing murder charges. Additionally, a Denver teenager was arrested for a fatal shooting at Highland Hollows Park in Aurora, and a Thornton man was not charged for a fatal stabbing at a Westminster hotel.
The man who suffered a gunshot wound was immediately taken to the hospital, where he was tragically pronounced dead. Meanwhile, the woman was also transported to the hospital, treated for her injuries, and later released.
Following Wheat Ridge police's discovery that the incident was within the county's jurisdiction, the investigation was handed over to the sheriff's deputies. During their investigation, authorities uncovered that the individuals involved were acquaintances who had gone to the cemetery to visit a friend's grave. Sadly, a fight broke out, resulting in the assault and eventual shooting, according to the sheriff's office.
As a result of their findings, Ryan Trujillo-Falcon was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and second-degree assault. It is a devastating and troubling situation that has shaken the community, and we can only hope for justice to be served.
