DENVER (KDVR) — Denver police are investigating a shooting that happened inside an apartment unit at the intersection of Humboldt and East 29th Avenue.
Police say they are still in the process of gathering details, but neighbors who live nearby gave FOX31 some insight into what unfolded.

“It had to be about 11 or maybe 12,” said East 29th Avenue neighbor Caroline Maxwell.
Denver police and crime scene units were still on scene well into the afternoon investigating the shooting. FOX31 crews saw officers going in and out of a unit at the Willow Apartments.
“My son heard the gunshot and he woke me up and said ‘Someone is shooting and screaming they got shot in the face,’” said Maxwell.
She lives two doors down from where officers appeared to center their investigation.
“I think probably it could have been avoided before now because they are always over there fighting and arguing all the time,” said Maxwell. “So, the boyfriend and girlfriend that lives there got into a dispute and she called her brother and mother over here to the scene. That is when her brother got shot in the face.”
