DENVER -- Denver police arrested the father of 10-year-old Auralia Cisneros, who was shot and killed in what police believed was a gang-related fight in her Denver apartment.

Leo Cisneros was arrested Tuesday morning for investigation of child abuse resulting in death, said Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson.

Auralia Cisneros was killed on Nov. 26. The initial investigation showed she was shot in the face and died in the living room of her family's west Denver apartment.

Three 19-year-old men were arrested in connection with the shooting.

Trivi Trujillo, Joshua Rojas and Juvencio Hernandez all face felony murder charges and are being held without bail.

An autopsy for a 10-year-old girl revealed officers found the girl holding "a small bag of green, leafy material" in her left hand.

Denver police declined comment on whether the material was marijuana, saying the case had been turned over to the district attorney's office.

Cisneros' family has denied any connection to drugs or gangs, although postings on MySpace.com Web pages maintained by her mother and father make references to both.
