The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday announced six additional arrests in connection to a shooting at a crowded Highlands Ranch entertainment venue earlier this month.

The additional suspects face charges ranging from obstruction of justice to menacing to assault. 

Since the shooting Saturday, Feb. 8, authorities have held Nevaeha Crowley-Sanders, 23, on suspicion of opening fire inside the Highlands Ranch Main Event and hitting a woman four times, injuring her. 

Crowley-Sanders is being held on a $1 million bond and is next due in court March 21. 

The victim and Crowley-Sanders, who prosecutors said knew each other in high school, engaged in a physical fight in the bathroom. The shooter fired eight-to-10 bullets, hitting the woman at least four times, according to prosecutors.

Prosecutors said dozens of patrons fled and hid for cover.

On Thursday, the Sheriff’s Office released the names of six more suspects arrested for either assisting the shooter or possessing a firearm.

All arrestees have since bonded out:

  • Niyonii Crowley-Sanders, 21, of Denver: one count of accessory to attempted murder in the first degree, nine counts of accessory to attempted murder in the first degree-extreme indifference, four counts of accessory to assault in the first degree, 10 counts of accessory to illegal discharge of a firearm, 47 counts accessory to menacing, one count of accessory to criminal mischief, 47 counts of accessory to reckless endangerment, one count of accessory to unlawful carrying of a weapon and one count of accessory to prohibited use of a weapon.
  • Keylonie Fenery, 23, of Aurora: one count of accessory to attempted murder in the first degree, nine counts of accessory to attempted murder in the first degree-extreme indifference, four counts of accessory to assault in the first degree, 10 counts of accessory to illegal discharge of a firearm, 47 counts accessory to menacing, one count of accessory to criminal mischief, 47 counts of accessory to reckless endangerment, one count of accessory to unlawful carrying of a weapon, one count of accessory to prohibited use of a weapon.
  • Lorine Stegall, 22, of Arvada: felony menacing-real/simulated weapon and carrying a concealed weapon-knife/gun.
  • Devonta Jackson-Keys, 29, of Denver: tampering with physical evidence, accessory to the crime of menacing.
  • Kiacia Jackson, 22, of Denver: assault in the third degree, disorderly conduct-fighting in public, and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
  • Ajie Fair-Munoz, 24, of Denver: assault in the third degree, disorderly conduct-fighting in public.

All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

“This is still an open and very active investigation,” Sheriff’s Office officials said in a statement. “Detectives continue to investigate whether any other individuals on the scene played a role in the events that night.”

“Multiple guns were found at the scene as well,” officials added.

In the parking lot of the Main Event during or shortly after the shooting, a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputy shot and killed Jalin Seabron, 23, who was identified by authorities as an accomplice of Crowley-Sanders.

On Monday, civil rights attorneys representing Seabron’s family denied that he was an accomplice, requesting for the immediate release of body cam footage, which has yet to be released due to Crowley-Sanders public defenders filing an objection.

Records show Seabron had no criminal history, according to Colorado court records.

Jackson-Keys has multiple arrests dating back to 2014, according to court records, including on charges of robbery, theft, driving under suspension and driving under the influence. He also faces an obstruction of justice charge.

“Our detectives have been working around the clock since the night of the Main Event shooting,” Sheriff Darren Weekly said in a statement.

“You cannot come into Douglas County and engage in criminal conduct or be part of trying to cover up criminal conduct,” he said. “We will identify you and track you down no matter where you hide. You will not escape justice for the crimes you have committed.”

In a statement responding to Seabron’s family claiming the Sheriff’s Office “mischaracterized” the events on Feb. 8, Weekly maintained support for his deputy involved in the officer-involved fatal shooting.

“He acted to protect lives in a dangerous active shooter situation,” Weekly said. “In accordance with the statutory justifications, a peace officer is justified in using deadly physical force if the suspect poses an immediate threat of death or serious bodily injury to the peace officer or another person.”
