A stretch of downtown Denver near the 3000 block of N Champa Street turned into an active crime scene after a shooting left one person wounded and rushed to a hospital, according to police. Detectives are now working the case, canvassing the area for witnesses and video as they try to firm up suspect information.
In a post on X, the Denver Police Department said officers had located one victim and transported that person to a hospital, adding that investigators were working to develop details on the suspect. The department also reminded residents that its social media channels are not watched around the clock and that anyone facing an emergency should call or text 911 instead of sending a message online.
