We have new information about a
shooting in Aurora that killed
a 12 year old boy Friday.
13 year old is still hospitalized
after he was shot in the leg.
Police have arrested an 18 year old
who they say is responsible at 9.
News reporter Cole Sullivan joins
us now with the latest information
about all those kids involved. Cole
Tom Denver's McAuliffe International
School sent a letter home to parents
identifying the 12 year old.
A 7th grader, King Wright,
the principal calls King
a charismatic young man.
And says his death will be
especially hard on the students
and staff who were closest to him.
There's now a small memorial outside the
house where it happened Friday afternoon.
It's just a couple blocks South of
the University of Colorado Hospital.
Within hours, Aurora police identified
Rolando Felipe as a person of interest.
They arrested him Saturday.
Investigators say his story changed
multiple times while they interviewed him.
He said he had been robbed the week
before and wanted his phone back.
That's why they say he agreed to meet
up with the boys in the 1st place.
Police say he admitted he did not have to
shoot them and could have just driven away.
Felipe is due in court on Friday.
He will face charges of first degree
murder and attempted first degree murder.
And we've just learned there's
a prayer vigil for the victims
scheduled at 4:00 o'clock tomorrow.
That's at Freedom Park in Aurora. Tom.
Sadly, too many of these
stories now. But so young, so
young, 12 years old,
a 7th grader. Thank you cold.
Bail police are hoping the public
can help them figure out what
happened to a woman from Commerce
City found dead over the summer.
Police say the body of 40 year old Kendra
Hull was found in Gore Creek in early July.
Authorities say because the cause
of death is undetermined, they are
investigating the death as suspicious.
Kendra left behind a husband and
two daughters in Commerce City.
They say Kendra did not suffer from
any mental health issues and they
have no clue why she was in Vail.
At this point,
they are desperate for answers.
Death is such a serious thing,
and for none of us to know what happened,
it makes it that much harder.
Vail police say anyone for information
I've seen may have seen Kendra that Friday.
Any information they could provide
July 8th near the bike path that
runs along core agree Creek.
So if you think back to that time,
anyone with information is encouraged
to reach out to authorities.
Cool start to the week, right?
You get outside,
the sunshine looks great.
The blue skies look great.
But it has been cold.
And it's gonna stay cold.
Kathy's with us now as we
start off the workweek.
Hi, Kath.
Hey, you're cool. Well, we dealt with.
Today was just plain cold. True
was right. Yeah, it was like look
outside and you step out and then you're.
Where's my coat?
Yeah, I don't want to go out there.
It's gonna freak you guys out a
little bit when I tell you this,
but the coldest air isn't here yet.
Ohh. More to come, you know,
right on a Monday.
Here's me. Mary sunshine.
Yes, Mary sunshine.
It's pretty
though, right? Yes, of course,
of course. Alright, in Boulder,
it's just a beautiful afternoon.
But we might see those flat irons with a
light dusting of snow by tomorrow morning.
Let me show you what's going on
around the area. In downtown Denver.
The sun is setting early.
None of us are really used to that just yet.
And that means it's going to turn cold early.
This is this morning.
How about this? 10 degrees at DIA,
11 in Lyman, 10 in Greeley, three.
Leadville, 14 and Gunnison.
These are the temperatures
that we started off with.
Nobody got above 40 today.
And the snow still falling
across the continental divide.
Those traveling that I-70 corridor
need to be prepared for winter driving
conditions off and on from must
much of the week senator circulation
off to the South and east of us.
The northwest flow is going to
drive a little piece of energy
in overnight from the north.
Not terribly significant but we do
expect some overnight snow showers.
So some of you are going to wake
up to light dusting of snow and
more of this our high today only
3420 degrees colder than average.
Little milder in Greeley,
a little colder in areas like.
Add billing.
Gunnison and those high mountain
valleys are going to stay very
cold over the next couple of days.
Clouds increase.
Temperatures drop again tonight with
a chance for a few snow showers,
potentially as early as 9:00 o'clock.
And so our weather headlines.
These temperatures are below average
and will remain so for a week,
the whole week.
So start pulling out all your cute
jackets and your gloves and your little
earmuffs and all the fun things.
You're going to need to wear
something different every day.
Why not?
Because we have snow in the forecast twice,
but cold for five days,
maybe 7 days and again,
that's the headliner.
That Kim and Tom are excited about
the coldest air has yet to arrive.
Yeah, when you say below average,
it takes me back to my school day.
How much is that what you heard?
I heard that a lot.
Or did you even listen?
I I heard it. I heard it, OK.
And I cannot believe such a thing would be
true. There's no, I think it
was always above average. That
should have been there.
Should have been there.
But some long time,
way too way before you guys were
around. Sometimes a little
too talkative, maybe
like the three of us. You mean
once or twice. That's right, Kathy.
We'll see you in just a bit. Thanks.
It's almost a week now since Election Day,
but at this point we still don't
know who will represent Colorado's
third Congressional District when
it comes to Washington next year.
The Republican incumbent, Lauren Bobart,
leads the Democratic nominee,
Adam Frisch, by about 1100 votes.
But Fish says the Secretary of State
and the district's county clerks have
told him there are still between 3 and
6000 ballots that need to be counted.
That election one of several undecided races
across the country that will ultimately
determine the balance of power in the House.
Next session,
Republicans need to win at least six
more seats to gain control of the
house and create a split Congress.
That's because Democrats have now
secured control of the Senate.
That happened over the weekend.
Yet another name to remember
in the Denver's mayor race,
a Democratic state Senator, Chris Hansen,
filed paperwork this morning,
Hanson joined some other notable
names who have already announced
state Representative Leslie Harold.
Lisa Calderon, who ran for mayor four
years ago to City Councilwoman Debbie
Ortega and Kelly brought the former.
CEO of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce,
Hansen spoke with Nine News
political reporter Marsha Zellinger
before he officially filed his
paperwork on his run as to how he
views himself as a candidate.
Well, I I was always thought of myself
as as pragmatic and progressive.
I certainly have run for the state
legislature in that in that frame.
I I feel like I've been able to
accomplish a lot at the the state
legislature by taking that approach.
I think it's who I am as an engineer
and sort of the mindset that I
bring to problem solving and try
to be very pragmatic and listen to
all sides and then come up with the
best solution that we can after
sitting down at the table with with
all the all the folks involved.
Hansen
also told Marshall he would continue
to enforce the city's camping ban,
but would change how the Spitty
city spends on helping those that
are experiencing homelessness.
He also wants to invest in
the Denver Police Department.
You can see more of Marshall's interview
coming up on next with Kyle Clark,
or you can watch the entire
thing on 9 News Plus.
