(PUEBLO, Colorado) – The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) arrested a 19-year-old woman on Wednesday, July 10, in connection with a shooting that left a juvenile injured and in serious condition.

On Wednesday afternoon, PPD received information about a 17-year-old boy who was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound and was in serious condition. Officers were able to determine that he may have been shot at a residence in the 2400 block of Lake Ave.

Information was gathered on the suspect and officers attempted to contact 19-year-old Mariah Jaramillo at the residence. After several unsuccessful attempts by police and negotiators to move Jaramillo from the residence, a search warrant was prepared and granted for the residence.

The Pueblo Police SWAT team arrived on the scene to assist in making contact with the suspect.

Eventually, Jaramillo was contacted and peacefully taken into custody.
