Denver police are asking for the public's help to track down 36-year-old Vincent Flournoy, who investigators say is wanted on aggravated robbery and attempted first degree murder charges. In a recent "Mug Shot Monday" alert, the department listed his date of birth as December 7, 1989, and described him as 6-foot-1 and 161 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Anyone with information is urged to call Metro Denver Crime Stoppers at 720-913-STOP (7867).
Details From the Department
According to the Denver Police Department, the Facebook alert includes Flournoy's booking photo and lists the alleged offenses as aggravated robbery and "criminal attempt 1st degree murder." The post repeats his birth date and physical description, and notes that the alert is part of the department's continuing push to crowdsource tips on open cases. The department is asking residents to share information with police and to avoid confronting Flournoy themselves.
How to Submit Tips
Tips can be submitted through the anonymous online form run by Metro Denver Crime Stoppers or by calling the Crime Stoppers hotline at 720-913-7867. Authorities emphasize that anyone who believes they have spotted Flournoy should contact the tip line or call 911 rather than attempting to approach him.
Legal Context
Under Colorado law, murder in the first degree is a class 1 felony, and the criminal attempt statute treats an attempt to commit a class 1 felony as one class lower. That means attempted first degree murder is charged as a class 2 felony, according to Justia's summary of C.R.S. 18-2-101 and the related first degree murder provisions. Aggravated robbery, which involves the use or threat of a deadly weapon, carries its own severe penalties under C.R.S. 18-4-302, as outlined by Justia.
At the time of publication, the Facebook alert was the primary public bulletin from the department, and officials had not released additional incident details in that post. We will monitor public records and official filings for any court action or updates.
