(KAIR)--An Atchison man is being remembered for his love of music, baseball, his family and friends, and ice cream.
Those are the memories of Atchison's Lauren Pierce who was in a relationship with Marcus Denton at the time he was killed Saturday in Colorado Springs, Colorado. “He would light up your whole world,” Pierce told MSC News. “He really cared about his friends and he'd do anything to make anybody happy.”
KKTV 11 is reporting that police are continuing to investigate what led to a double shooting Saturday night that left Denton and a woman, identified by the TV station as Serena Garcia, dead inside a car.
Pierce recalls Denton warmly, saying he was a one of a kind person with a heart of gold. “ He was really smart, smart as could be. He'd teach you things that you'd never think you'd be taught.”
A last minute candlelight vigil was held in Atchison Sunday night in Denton's honor. “It was amazing to see the people that did come," Pierce said. "It was very last minute, but the turnout was very good for how little notice anybody had.”
Denton was only 20-years-old. “He would be turning 21 next month,” Pierce said.
One person is in custody for the shooting, and Colorado Springs Police told KKTV more arrests are possible.
Denton was living in Colorado Springs at the time of his death.
