Arrests made in connection to Fourth of July shooting on I-70
Two arrests have been made in connection to the fatal shooting that took place on Interstate 70 last week, according to an update from the Denver Police Department (DPD).
The incident, which was initially reported as a single-vehicle crash involving a motorcycle, occurred near North Colorado Boulevard at approximately 1:18 a.m. on July 4.
