Teen girl suspected of shooting 5 people in LoDo last month arrested in California

The 17-year-old who was on the run for over a month after shooting five people outside of a lower downtown Denver bar was arrested in Barstow, California on Thursday.

Denver Police Fugitive Unit investigators apprehended Keanna Rosenburgh with the help of tips from the community and after further investigation and surveillance.

The suspect is in juvenile detention in Barstow awaiting extradition, which is being coordinated by the Denver District Attorney’s Office.  

The five people who were shot survived their injuries, but investigative sources told The Denver Gazette that one victim’s life was saved by a quick-thinking first responder who applied a tourniquet.

Another, a 26-year-old woman who did not want to be identified, was shot in the foot, according to her father, and suffered broken bones. The woman did not know Rosenburgh, her father said.

Rosenburgh, who lives in Lakewood with her family, is being held on eight counts of attempted homicide. It’s unknown whether the teen will be tried as a juvenile or as an adult. She just turned 17 in early June. 

On the night of Sept. 16, the teen was refused entry into Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row in the 1900 block of Market Street, left and returned, firing a gun into a crowd. She then disappeared until her arrest Thursday morning.

Attempts by The Denver Gazette to speak with her mother and her grandmother went unanswered.  

Surveillance video helped police to identify Keanna Rosenburgh as the suspect in a LoDo shooting spree in September 2023. She was arrested on Thursday morning in Barstow, California and is awaiting extradition on suspicion of eight charges of attempted murder. (Denver Police department)
