was the result of a gang-related clash over a stolen iPod, the El Paso County
Sheriff's Office said.
The suspect, 19-year-old Juan
Vasquez, was arrested early this morning on suspicion of the murders of two

"The investigation has also revealed those involved are affiliated with local gangs," Sevene wrote in a news release.
