Description
On the day that marks one year since 16-year-old Luis Garcia was shot outside East High School, an attorney for the family said on Tuesday that police presented a case to the Denver District Attorney's Office, however, both agencies downplayed that assertion.
"The Garcia's pray, hope that the Denver District Attorney's Office will be able to move forward with the case presented by the Denver Police Department," said attorney Matthew Barringer. "It has been an unbelievably difficult year for the Garcia family."
A spokesperson for the Denver District Attorney's Office said Tuesday that the case is still with the Denver Police Department. DPD said while detectives have made "significant progress" and have "consulted" with the DA's office they have not "formally" filed a case with them.
In the year since the shooting, Denver Police never announced the arrest of anyone on charges directly related to Luis' killing. Tuesday, the agency said to "protect the integrity of this ongoing investigation, there are no updates or suspect information that can be shared, at this time."
