Denver police are investigating two separate gang-linked shootings that left one dead and two others critically wounded Tuesday night in the northeast part of the city.

“Both of the shootings do appear to be gang related,” said Denver Police Cmdr. Matt Murray. “But we have no indication at this time that they’re tied to each other.”

Shortly before 10 p.m., police responded to a report of two people shot at the intersection of East 35th Avenue and Williams Street, in the Cole neighborhood. Both were transported to the hospital, where one male was pronounced dead. Murray said the other man was in critical condition.

A suspect or suspects fled the scene, police said.

An hour earlier and further east in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood, police said a man was shot in the 3300 block of Krameria Street.

He was taken to the hospital in critical condition, but was expected to survive, Murray said.

Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson believes the suspect or suspects fled the scene in a vehicle but had no information on the vehicle.

The Cole shooting was about two blocks from where residents had gathered Tuesday night for a rally against a recent surge of violence in the city and to mourn the death of a 22-year-old man killed Saturday.

“It’s very concerning that we have two shooting incidents in one night,” Jackson said.

Murray asked anyone with information on the shootings to come forward.

“The only way we can stop this is with the help of the community,” Murray said.
