Denver police on Wednesday released photos of two men and called on the public to help identify them after two separate incidents earlier this month. Investigators say one man is linked to a carjacking and kidnapping, while the other is tied to a downtown robbery. Metro Denver Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information that leads to an arrest.
What Police Released
According to the Denver Police Department, the carjacking and kidnapping happened on Monday at about 8:45 a.m. near South Irving Street and West Ohio Avenue (case 26-119390). A separate robbery was reported last Wednesday around 11:11 a.m. in the 1400 block of Arapahoe Street (case 26-128595).
The department’s post included photos it said were tied to the two incidents. Detectives are still investigating and are looking for additional video and eyewitness accounts to help fill in the gaps.
Suspect Descriptions And Reward
Police described the robbery suspect as a Black male between 22 and 29 years old, about 6 feet tall with a medium build. The carjacking suspect was described as a male of medium complexion, about 5-foot-6, slim, wearing eyeglasses and showing tattoos on his neck and hands.
Tipsters can remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000. Tips can be called in to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867) or submitted online. For non‑emergency follow-up with investigators, residents can use the police information pages from the City and County of Denver.
Why Police Are Asking
Public appeals like this are a routine investigative tool and often surface footage or witnesses that help close cases. National analyses have shown that robberies and carjackings eased in 2025 across many large U.S. cities, a broader trend noted by the Council on Criminal Justice. That wider pattern does not change the immediate need for local tips to help Denver detectives identify the men in the photos.
Investigators are asking anyone with home- or business-camera footage from the listed times, or anyone who recognizes the men, to preserve that material and share it with Crime Stoppers rather than confronting possible suspects. If you believe you are in immediate danger, call 911; otherwise, use the anonymous tip line so detectives can follow up.
