2 Dead In Apparent Gang Clash Over Stolen iPod
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) ―
Investigators say a shooting east of Colorado Springs that left two teenagers dead stemmed from a gang-related clash over a stolen iPod.
El Paso County sheriff's Lt. Lari Sevene says 19-year-old Juan Vasquez was arrested early Friday on suspicion of killing the two teenage boys.
They were identified as 18-year-old Uriel Rascon and 17-year-old Luis Burciaga. Both died of single gunshot wounds to the chest from an assault rifle.
Deputies responded to a report of a fight involving nearly two dozen people at about 4 p.m. Thursday near Cimarron Eastridge Park.
One person died at the scene. The second died at a hospital less than an hour later.
It wasn't immediately clear if Vasquez had an attorney.
