The Lakewood Police Department is actively on the lookout for two men implicated in a violent altercation that transpired on September 20 at a 7-Eleven on Wadsworth Boulevard. As KDVR reports, one victim, who was wearing a red Chicago Bulls jersey, sustained an assault after the suspects alleged themselves to be affiliated with the 'Crips' gang from Crenshaw, a stark visual opposition to the 'Bloods', notorious for their red attire, evoking historical gang animosities rooted in Los Angeles.
These individuals, beyond the assault, threatened victims with a firearm and in a further act of aggression, attempted a brazen carjacking, though the truck owner managed to escape, as detailed by Denver 7. Outline encounters chilling for the area, the first suspect was described as having dark hair with glasses, sporting a trucker hat, white tank top, and adorned with tattoos on his right forearm.
Compounding the threat was the second suspect, sporting reddish-brown hair and a distinctive 'soul patch', with tattoos on both his neck and forearm, drawing more concern from the community as the suspects remain at large, according to KKTV.
