Police believe the shooting happened after a fight between two groups escalated. Investigators are working to develop suspect information, and anyone with information, photos or videos of the shooting is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.

The shooting is the second in the downtown area in the past day. Two people were taken to a hospital after a shooting Friday morning near 22nd and Stout streets in the Five Points neighborhood. That’s about three-quarters of a mile east of Saturday’s shooting.

Investigators don’t believe the two shootings are connected, police said.

This is a developing story and may be updated.
