EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. — The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office made four more arrests in the deaths of two teenagers. The announcement came as the family of one of the victims held his funeral Saturday.
Five people are under arrest in connection with the double homicide as of Saturday.
Natalie Partida, 16, and Derek Greer, 15 were found dead along a rural road in El Paso County on March 12. The Colorado Springs teens attended Coronado High School.
