1 killed, 2 injured in shooting at house party in Commerce City

Shiloh Bennett was killed in the shooting which occurred in the 6900 block of East 69th Place.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — An 18-year-old man died and two people were injured in a shooting at a house party Sunday morning, Commerce City Police said.

The shooting happened just before 2 a.m. in the 6900 block of East 69th Place. That's a few blocks west of Quebec Parkway and the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.

The man, later identified as Shiloh Bennet, was pronounced dead at the scene. 

Another victim was transported to the hospital, but police did not know how serious their injuries were. A third victim transported themselves to the hospital, and their injuries are not considered life-threatening.

Detectives are in the process of gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses who were at the party. Police said many of the partygoers attended after seeing social media posts about the event.

Police are working to develop suspect information. Investigators said they do not believe there is a threat to the public.

Investigators did release a photo of a small, single-cab, white older-model pickup truck with five-spoke wheels. On Monday, police said they had located the truck and its occupants, and they are not considered suspects in the shooting.
