According to Denver police, three persons have been detained in relation to the murder of a 17-year-old girl last spring.
Jasmine Rivas-Hernandez was discovered shot to death in an alleyway on March 26 in the city’s Montclair district. A police affidavit sent to The Post described how her legs had been discovered crossed at the ankles and fastened with a pair of white headphones.
Police detained Robert Adam Solano, 34, Joseph Thomas Chavez, 26, and Shiloh Fresquez, 21, for their alleged involvement in the teen’s death almost ten months later.
According to the records, Chavez’s DNA was discovered in a stolen truck that had been seen on security film speeding down the alley hours before Jasmine was discovered, helping police identify the group. The automobile also had blood from Jasmine, according to the authorities.
According to their cellphone records, Fresquez and Solano, a couple, had been together at the time of the murder and were only a few blocks away.
Solano may have been the one to fire the shot, according to the accusations. He was the only member of the group to face first-degree murder charges.
When Denver police filed arrest warrants on Tuesday, Solano and Chavez were already in detention on other offences. Chavez was charged with first-degree murder accessory to crime and mistreatment of a corpse.
According to the authorities, Fresquez was detained earlier this month for her involvement in the slaying. The Denver District Attorney’s Office has accused her of trying to influence a public official and being an accessory to a first-degree murder felony.
Police have not yet given a reason for the murder.
