TWO SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY IN DENVER'S EASTER PICNIC MURDER

UPDATE

Dazirius Wilford, 18, and a youth have been arrested as suspects in a deadly drive-by shooting at an Easter Sunday picnic in Denver, police said Friday.

Wilford and the youth face charges of first-degree in the slaying of
Pharrow Ware, 18, an attendee of the April 5 family gathering at Russell Square Park.

Wilford was arrested Wednesday and the youth was arrested by "
tactical teams" Thursday night, police said.

A second fatality, a woman, was accidentally struck by a bullet fired by a man attending the picnic during an exchange of gunfire with the assailants.

Prosecutors opted against filing charges in that death in April "
due to no reasonable likelihood of conviction," police said. 

No other details were released. Wilford's arrest was first announced Thursday.
