Durango police identified the 19-year-old man shot in the hip Tuesday as Benjamin Jacob Keil.
It was too early to talk about motive, suspects or circumstances, police Lt. Ray Shupe said Wednesday.
“There were multiple witnesses,” Shupe said. “So I have detectives running all over all day.”
The shooting occurred about 7 p.m. in the Riverbend neighborhood north of 32nd Street, Shupe said.
“A bullet was recovered at the scene and has been sent for analysis,” Shupe said.
Two groups of people were involved in the incident, Shupe said.
But he wouldn’t expand on what relationship might exist between them.
“We’re really in the early stages of the investigation,” Shupe said.
