Denver police are asking for help tracking down a man they say robbed a business on the 6400 block of East Colfax Avenue on Sunday. Investigators shared surveillance images of the suspect, described as a slim Black male about 5 feet 11 inches tall with black hair that has a blond streak and a marking or tattoo below one eye. The case is listed as 26-382527, and officers want anyone with information to come forward.
What police released
The Denver Police Department posted stills from the surveillance footage, along with a brief physical description, in a public call for tips. The post identifies the incident as a robbery in the 6400 block of East Colfax and tags it with case number 26-382527. According to the Denver Police Department, anyone who has video, photos, or details that might help identify the suspect is urged to contact authorities.
How to submit tips
Metro Denver Crime Stoppers notes that tipsters can stay anonymous and may be eligible for an award of up to $2,000 if their information leads to an arrest. The group lists its hotline as 720-913-STOP (7867) and also accepts online submissions through its web portal. The organization states that tips are handled confidentially and that the hotline operates around the clock, according to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers.
Why this matters on Colfax
East Colfax and neighboring stretches have repeatedly shown up in police requests for help identifying suspects, with recent calls encouraging residents to review door-cam and dash-cam footage. Local coverage has pointed out that surveillance images and anonymous Crime Stoppers tips have played a role in helping investigators in other cases. That history is part of why officers are asking the public once again to review any footage and share relevant clips, as reported by surveillance images and anonymous tips, per Hoodline.
Police contact and next steps
In an emergency, residents should call or text 911. For non-emergency police services, the City and County of Denver lists 720-913-2000. When reaching out to Metro Denver Crime Stoppers or the Denver Police Department about this incident, officials ask the public to reference case number 26-382527 and not to approach anyone who matches the description. Police note that doorbell and dash-cam videos have been crucial in similar investigations and could again be key as officers follow up on leads in this case.
