Cheyenne Teen Arrested, Accused of Fatally Shooting 14-Year-Old

CORRECTION:

Cheyenne police spokeswoman Alex Farkas says officers were called to the 2100 block of E. 10th Street, not the 1200 block as police originally reported.

ORIGINAL STORY:

Cheyenne police have arrested a 13-year-old boy in connection with the shooting death of a 14-year-old boy.

Public Information Officer Alex Farkas says officers were called to a "firearm incident" in the 1200 block of E. 10th Street around 3 a.m. this morning.

"On arrival, officers found a 14-year-old male deceased from an apparent gunshot wound," Farkas said in a news release.

Farkas says the 13-year-old was arrested later in the day on suspicion of manslaughter and theft.

Farkas says both teens are from Cheyenne, but she couldn't disclose their relationship.

The case remains under investigation.

The Most Expensive Neighborhoods in Cheyenne

Cheyenne, like any city, is made up of many different neighborhoods. While none of them are as famous as SoHo in New York City or Five Points in Denver, Wyoming's capital city has about 20 neighborhoods that its nearly 65 thousand residents live in.

Neighborhood Scout scoured the information on the Chey-town neighborhoods that make up the 32.37 square miles of the city to find where the most expensive places are to live. We're talking about real estate here, not the price of milk or anything. That kind of stuff is pretty uniform across the city.
