Bryan Angelo DeHerrera was 16 when he was shot and killed in Denver on the morning of April 11, 2019. Surveillance footage shows him withdrawing $360 from an ATM around 9 a.m., and investigators say he had arranged via social media to buy a handgun from a fellow student. Police responded to shots fired near West Bar Val Wood Park in the Valverde neighborhood and found DeHerrera with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Denver Health Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Investigators quickly focused on a 17-year-old peer. Police recovered the social media messages about the gun and arrested the suspect at his home on April 26, a block from the shooting. The suspect told police that after selling a loaded 9mm to DeHerrera, DeHerrera pointed the gun at him, a struggle followed, and the suspect shot DeHerrera before fleeing. The Denver District Attorney announced plans to charge the juvenile as an adult, including first-degree murder and possession of a handgun by a juvenile.

Does anyone who knew Bryan or who was in the Valverde area that morning have information that could shed light on what happened?
