A teenage boy died and three men were injured in a late-night Saturday shooting in southeast Denver, on the edge of the city’s Kennedy neighborhood, police said.
Denver officers responded Saturday night to the shooting near South Galena Street and East Hampden Avenue, according to an 11:06 p.m. post on social media from the police department.
A group of people had gathered in the area to celebrate the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro when the shooting happened, a spokesperson for the Denver Police Department said.

It’s unclear if the shooter was attending the event and, as of Sunday evening, no suspects had been publicly identified or arrested.
When Denver officers first responded to the shooting, they found one victim, who paramedics took to the hospital with unknown injuries.
Denver officers later learned about three additional victims, police said. Two were taken to hospitals in private vehicles, and a third — an unidentified 16-year-old boy — was dropped off near Iliff Avenue and South Havana Street, where he died.
The teenager will be identified by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner.
The other three victims were a 26-year-old man, a 29-year-old man and a 33-year-old man, the spokesperson said. One of the men was in critical condition Sunday evening.
Another man was in serious condition and the third was treated for a graze wound and released, police told Denver7.
