A weekend morning near Park Avenue and Lawrence Street turned into an active crime scene after a stabbing left one person in the hospital and Denver police combing the area for clues.

In a post on X, the Denver Police Department said it "is investigating a stabbing in the area of Park Ave. and Lawrence" and confirmed that "one victim was transported to a local hospital."

What Police Want From the Public

So far, investigators have kept key details under wraps. They have not released a suspect description, the victim’s name, or any indication of a motive. The appeal to the public is straightforward: if you saw something or caught anything on camera, they want to hear from you.

According to the City and County of Denver, people with information, video, or tips can contact the police department or Crime Stoppers to share what they know.
