Denver Police Arrest Two in Infant Kidnapping, Apartment Shooting

Two suspects, Stephen Harper (53) and Tiffany Earvin (39), were arrested after a shooting and kidnapping incident at an apartment on Court Place in Denver around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Police responded to reports of a shooting and found a man with a gunshot wound, who was hospitalized in critical condition. The suspects also abducted a 1-year-old girl, the daughter of a woman living in the apartment, but were quickly located with the infant in a neighboring building; the child appeared unharmed but was taken to a hospital as a precaution. Authorities stated that the individuals involved knew each other and had a history of prior conflicts, though the specific motive remains unclear. Harper and Earvin are being held on suspicion of attempted first-degree murder and attempted second-degree kidnapping, with formal charges to be determined by the district attorney. The incident highlights ongoing interpersonal disputes and swift police response in serious violent crimes.
