One of the two suspects, Jayden Martin, 18, of Aurora, was arrested late Thursday afternoon by Aurora police’s fugitive unit.
He is charged in Arapahoe District Court with eight counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault, both felonies.
Martin is in custody on a $1 million bond.
The second suspect, a 16-year-old Aurora teenager, was arrested on Feb. 18.
He also is charged in Arapahoe District Court with eight counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault, as well as one count each of unlawful possession of a handgun by a juvenile and unlawful possession of a weapon by a previous offender, all felonies.
