Two Colorado teens have been arrested and charged with murder after allegedly shooting and killing two boys and wounding four others, leaving 16 bullet holes in the vehicle the victims were traveling in, authorities said.

On Jan. 9, at about 1:19 a.m., police in Colorado Springs received calls about shots being fired, the Colorado Springs Police Department stated in a release.

Officers found multiple people suffering from gunshot wounds, including two boys, later identified as Marcus Venezio-Hernandez, 13, and Nevean Tafoya, 15, both of Pueblo, who were pronounced dead at the scene.

One adult and three juveniles were treated at the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the shooting.

On Friday, the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force arrested one of the teens allegedly involved in the shooting — Kadin Dyer Blaschke, 19 — at a Motel 6 in Reno, Nev.

He was booked as a fugitive from justice and is awaiting extradition back to Colorado, the U.S. Marshals stated in the release.

Blaschke is charged with two counts of second-degree homicide in connection with the Jan. 9 shooting deaths of the two boys.
