A memorial sits in the park where a 13-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy were shot on Saturday. The 13-year-old was killed. A 19-year-old man has been arrested
The shooting occurred around 1:49 p.m. near a basketball court at Kensington Park off Kensington Street and St. Clair Avenue, according to the Longmont Police Department.
The suspect, Yahir Solis, was arrested at 225 Kimbark Street in Longmont about 45 minutes after the shooting. The 19-year-old is being held at the Boulder County Jail on suspicion of first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder. A witness told Denver7’s Amy Wadas she and her husband ran out of the house to see what was going on as soon as they heard gunshots at Kensington Park. She says they jumped in to try and help the boys as soon as they spotted them on the ground.She says her husband cradled the boy while she held the 15-year-old, who police say is expected to survive after he was shot in the leg. The 13-year-old was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Duran lives down the street. He drove to the park when he heard the gunfire go off and says he saw two cars take off. “One car went south up the alley. The other went north and around the corner and they both took off. [There were] two cars involved,” said Duran. “Why would anyone want to shoot a kid but then again it’s 2022."If you were a witness or have surveillance video from the area, Longmont Police are asking you to give them a call on their tipline at 303-774-3700.
