Teen identified in Denver cemetery death

Denver Police found that a man had been shot and killed in a Denver cemetery on Saturday afternoon. The identity was later released, confirming that the victim was a 16-year-old boy. 

Denver officers responded to a call of a discovered body in the Fairmount Cemetery off of South Quebec Street and East Alameda Avenue around 2:30 p.m. Saturday. Officers later found the slain teenager on the grounds.

The Denver Office of the Medical Examiner Wednesday identified the victim as 16-year-old Elias Garcia Tinajero, according to a press release. The teen was said to have been shot multiple times. The death was ruled a homicide.

Police noted that investigation is underway, but a suspect has yet to be identified. 

“He was only 16 with a full life ahead of him,” Tinajero’s cousin said in the family’s GoFundMe, amassing nearly $3,000 in two days.

Anyone who may have information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 720-913-7867.
