Police in Denver have arrested three people for the deadly shooting of a 17-year-old girl in March 2022.

Police found Jasmine Rivas-Hernandez lying dead in the street after getting a 911 call about a female on the ground on North Quebec Street. The responding officer found her with a gunshot wound to her torso. A police affidavit showed that officers found her with her legs crossed at the ankles and her killers had tied her with a pair of white headphones.

Almost a year later, police arrested two males, 34-year-old Robert Adam Solano, 26-year-old Joseph Thomas Chavez, and a female, 21-year-old Shiloh Fresquez for the teenager’s murder.

Solano was already in police custody on an unrelated charge when an arrest warrant was issued on Tuesday, January 17, on a first-degree murder charge.

Authorities also issued an arrest warrant for Chez on Tuesday, and just like Solano, Chavez was already in custody on unrelated charges. He was arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to first-degree murder and abusing a corpse.

According to police, Fresquez was the first to be arrested in connection to the crime on January 3. The Denver District Attorney’s Office charged the 21-year-old with being an accessory to first-degree murder and attempting to influence a public officer.

An arrest affidavit states surveillance cameras captured a black pickup truck at around 2:40 am driving through the street, where police later found the victim, Rivas-Hernandez. Police later determined that the black truck seen on surveillance footage was a Honda Ridgeline that had been stolen from Aurora.

On March 28, 2022, two days after police found the teen’s body, they got an anonymous tip that Fresquez was connected to the murder. Investigators talked to Fresquez several times during the 10-month investigation.

In the initial stages of their investigations, detectives believed that Fresquez could have been a victim and witness to the murder, but as investigations progressed, they determined that she had provided them with false information. She told them she did not know the truck’s driver or the front seat passenger.

On April 12, 2022, officers from the Lakewood police followed a Honda Ridgeline that matched the suspect’s description. They took the driver into custody on an outstanding warrant for burglary. Officers noticed the van had bullet defects and forensics determined that blood found inside the truck belonged to the 17-year-old victim.

They also found fingerprints belonging to Chavez on the truck.

Investigators combed through the social media profiles of the suspects and found that Solano and Fresquez had been romantically involved and were together the night Rivas-Hernandez died.

They found communications between Solano and Fresquez’s phone numbers on the night of the murders. Cell phone records showed they both turned their phones off at around 2:05 am. They were just blocks away from the street the girl was dumped.

The charges show that Solano might have been the one who pulled the trigger as he was the only one charged with murder.

The family is seeking answers and justice for their loved one. The victim’s cousin, Diana Hernandez, told a reporter shortly after the murder that she could not understand what her cousin had done to deserve to be murdered.

Even though it took over 10 months for police to arrest the culprits, cell phone records, DNA technology, surveillance cameras and tips from the public prove that nowadays, it’s hard to get away with murder.
