A teenager who led police on a manhunt after a shooting that left a popular Denver bouncer and former University of Denver hockey star dead has been extradited from Casper, Wyoming, to Colorado to await trial.

Steven Marquez, 14, was brought to Denver this past weekend according to Daria Serna, with the Denver County Jail. He is scheduled for a juvenile detention hearing Tuesday in Denver’s Lindsey Flanigan Courthouse.

Denver District Attorney Beth McCann has so far charged Marquez with murder as a juvenile, DA spokesperson Matt Jablow said. 

The Denver police identified the boy while they were looking for him, so The Denver Gazette has chosen to continue using his name. The date of Marquez’ first appearance in court is unclear but will likely be in the next few days to be advised of the charges he faces. 

In a statement, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said that the teen should be prosecuted as a “serious safety risk.”

Denver police said the teenager shot and killed William Todd Kidd, 49, who worked at Federales restaurant at 29th and Larimer, following a dispute on July 10. Kidd died in the hospital two days later according to friends and family.

The incident happened at around 6:40 p.m., when police said Kidd intervened in a disturbance outside of Federales restaurant.

Marquez ran off and during the search for him, and police warned the public that he was armed and dangerous. Officials said that Denver Police Fugitive Unit investigators located the 14-year-old in Wyoming, where Casper police officers apprehended him July 16.

Ironically, Kidd was born in Casper and later moved to Colorado, but there has been no indication that there was a connection between he and Marquez. 

Kidd’s celebration of life Sunday drew hundreds of people. In Facebook posts, friends said that the “gentle giant” died a hero while protecting co-workers. They spoke of his light and energy.

Kidd’s family announced that there will be a second remembrance for Kidd Aug. 24 at the University of Denver’s Richie Center at 2240 Buchtel Boulevard. 

“Our Denver hockey family has heavy hearts right now and is in shock from Todd’s passing,” said Hockey Head Coach David Carle in a statement on the club’s website. “Our alumni are what makes this place so special, and we are devastated by this tragedy. Todd was a fearless defenseman for our team in the late 90’s and helped bring DU back into the national spotlight under coach George Gwozdecky and laid the groundwork for what our program is today. Our thoughts are with Todd’s family, friends and all of his former teammates during this indescribable time.”

Kidd played 140 career games from 1995-1999 for the Pioneers. The defenseman totaled 51 points while also recording 265 penalty minutes, according to DU.

Of the tragic case,  Mayor Johnston said the way to solve youth violence is to prevent it from occurring in the first place. To this end, he said, his administration launched a summer job program and set aside grant money to pay for events and other activities for young people.
