Two suspects have been arrested in connection to a shooting that took place last month outside the Arvada Village apartments near the corner of Ralston Road and Pierce Street. The shooting took place around 5:40 p.m. on July 30 and left one victim with serious injuries. The victim — who has not been identified by Arvada Police — was rushed to a nearby hospital and is expected to survive, according to APD. On Aug. 7, APD announced that they had arrested two suspects believed to have been involved in the shooting; 18-year-old Juan Mendoza Castillo and a 16-year-old suspect who has not been identified because he is a minor. The 16-year-old is the main suspect in the shooting, an APD spokesperson said.
