A 16-year-old was arrested this week on suspicion of murder in a man’s death at Russell Square Park on Easter, the Denver Police Department said Friday.

The agency did not name the person because they are a juvenile male.

The person was arrested Thursday in connection of the death of 18-year-old Pharrow Ware on April 5, according to the news release.

Police also arrested Dazirius Wilford, 18, on Wednesday in connection with Ware’s death.

Ware was fatally shot at the park at East 37th Avenue and Vine Street on Easter. Sharon Ware, 43, was also killed at the park.

Police previously said they identified a 34-year-old man suspected of killing Sharon Ware, but he was not charged with murder because the Denver District Attorney’s Office found there was “no reasonable likelihood of conviction.”
