Thirty-one-year-old Demarcus Brown-Jones had been convicted in May on second-degree murder, reckless manslaughter and other charges.
Police were investigating a reported fight in August, 2018 near the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus when officers found several people with gunshot wounds, including an 8-year-old boy.
Later, during an exchange of gunfire with an officer, the officer was hit but released from the hospital a day later.
