Denver 13-Year-Old Boy Accused in Fatal Shooting of 60-Year-Old Man Whose Leg Blocked Bus Aisle
The outlet continued:
Investigators believe the incident began as an argument between the suspect and Sanchez about Sanchez’s leg blocking the aisle, which ended with the suspect shooting Sanchez, according to police.
The suspect was taken into custody Thursday night on suspicion of first-degree murder. The Denver District Attorney’s Office will make the final determination on the potential filing of any charges.
An image shows the deceased man who is described as being a grandfather, per the New York Post:

The suspect’s identity has not been released because he is a juvenile, the 9 News article said.
In addition, video footage shows the bus parked in the middle of an intersection with officials gathered at the scene.
Social media users shared their thoughts on the report, one person writing, “Colorado is turning into California. Well done lawmakers.”
In December, Breitbart News reported Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s (D) car was stolen a second time but it was eventually recovered.
