Two men were arrested this week on suspicion of attempted murder after Denver police shut down southbound Interstate 25 on Monday to investigate a Friday shooting.
Burr Charlesworth, 42, and Luis Mendoza, 35, were both arrested on investigation of attempted first-degree murder and first-degree assault after allegedly shooting two men Friday on southbound I-25, according to a news release from the Denver Police Department.
Around 3:12 a.m. Friday, Denver officers responded to reports of a shooting on southbound I-25 near Colorado Boulevard, police said in the release.
Two men driving together on the interstate were shot in their car and pulled over onto I-25’s southbound shoulder near Belleview Avenue, police said. Paramedics took both men to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Denver police shut the interstate down for multiple hours Monday to investigate the shooting and are working to identify more suspects, according to the release.
