It’s a story that feels all too common in 2024: An innocent man is dead, and a suspect who’s all too young is arrested for the death.

According to KDVR-TV in Denver, an unnamed 13-year-old boy was arrested as a suspect charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of a 60-year-old grandfather aboard a Denver Regional Transportation District bus.

The killing took place on Jan. 27 — reportedly sparked by where the victim had placed his leg.

KDVR reported that the deceased, identified as Richard Sanchez, was just blocks from his home when the incident occurred.
