Denver 420 shooting suspect identified from YouTube video by Brandon Morse VIDEO
A YouTube video shared by Denver police Sunday afternoon may show one of the two suspects thought to be responsible for the shooting during the 420 rally in Denver’s Civic Center Park.
Three people were injured in the shooting and Denver police had been asking for photos or videos from rally attendees that might show the shooting or the suspects.
“You inadvertently captured one of the possible suspects on camera,” 7NEWS reporter Jaclyn Allen said to Brandon Morse, the person who originally posted the video to YouTube.
“That’s amazing,” he replied. “I didn’t realize I did that, but that’s citizen journalism for you.”
According to police, the best images of the suspect are visible about six seconds into the almost two minute video. It shows a black male with a brown and white checkered shirt, who is standing between a man in a red shirt and a man in a white hat.
“We are seeking this individual as we believe he assisted the primary suspect after the shooting,” police said.
The primary suspect in the shooting was described as wearing a blue hat, gray sweatshirt and black pants.
A man and woman, between 20 and 30 years old, were shot in the leg, Denver police said. Their injuries were considered non-life-threatening.
