Denver District Attorney Beth McCann has formally charged a man in connection with the shooting death of two people and the critical wounding of another after a triple shooting in the Villa Park neighborhood last week.

The charges allege that on May 30, 2018, in the 600 block of Perry Street, Gallegos shot and killed 16-year-old Anthony Martinez and 25-year-old Raymond Flores, and seriously wounded a third man.

No further details are available at this time as the probable cause statement is sealed. Additionally, the booking photo is being withheld pending further investigation.
