Denver prosecutors have filed formal charges against three men in a triple slaying earlier this month that investigators think happened during a marijuana sale. Chadd Evans, 32, Dejuan Jones, 23, and Deashaun Turrentine, 24, are each charged with two counts of first-degree murder, five counts of attempted first-degree murder and a count of aggravated robbery. “The charges allege that Evans, Jones, and Turrentine came to Denver from Oklahoma to illegally purchase several pounds of marijuana, and that during the transaction on June 3, 2016, they shot and killed two men and tried to kill five others,” the Denver District Attorney’s Office said in a Thursday news release. The third man who died in the shooting, 27-year-old Derrius Woods, was an “associate” of the three charged.
