SENTENCED TO 48 YEARS FOR SHOOTING THAT CLAIMED 3 LIVES IN DENVER

Luis Rivas-Newcomb was sentenced Monday to 48 years in prison for a shooting that claimed three lives in Denver, the DA's Office said. Rivas-Newcomb, 20, who was a minor at the time of the crime, fired into a vehicle at an overpass at 38th Avenue and Peoria Street on April 8, 2022, setting off a deadly chain of events. "The shots killed both the driver and the passenger, who were juveniles at the time," the DA's Office said. "The victims’ vehicle then went airborne and crashed into a vehicle in oncoming traffic, killing the driver of that car." Rivas-Newcomb pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in December.
