The Denver Police Department took to social media on Monday in the ongoing search for Horacio Alcala-Aragon, a suspect wanted for attempted murder in the first degree. As part of their "Mug Shot Monday" campaign, authorities are reaching out to the public, hoping someone could provide information leading to Alcala-Aragon's whereabouts. They've asked anyone with knowledge of his location to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
According to the Denver Police Department via Facebook post, which was published in the early hours of January 20th, community members have several ways to assist. Tips can be provided by calling the Crime Stoppers hotline at 720-913-STOP (7867) or through an online submission. Recognizing the sensitivity of the situation, police are assuring Alcala-Aragon that the post seeking his capture will be removed upon confirmation of his surrender and booking.
The post also contained a stern yet hopeful note directed at Alcala-Aragon, stating: "NOTE TO SUSPECT: If you turn yourself, we will expire this post upon confirmation of your booking," as per the Denver Police Department. This clause reflects the department's intent to engage directly with the suspect, offering a subtle undercurrent of leniency in exchange for compliance with the law.
