Denver police arrested a teenager in connection to the fatal shooting of a 14-year-old near a southeast Denver park in broad daylight Wednesday.

The teen, who is not identified because he is a minor, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, second-degree assault, felony menacing, attempting to influence a public official and juvenile in possession of a handgun, police announced Friday.

The victim, Treaujalaune Lornes, was shot about 4:42 p.m. Wednesday in the 1700 block of South Monaco Parkway near Cook Park, police said. He was pronounced dead shortly after.

Lornes is the eighth teenager or child shot and killed in Denver so far this year. The same number of teens have been shot and killed in the first nine months of 2019 as in all of 2018.

The number of teens killed in gun homicides in Denver has spiked in the past five years, as has the number of juveniles arrested with guns and juveniles charged with murder.
