A pre-dawn shooting in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood sent one person to the hospital early Wednesday, after gunfire was reported in the 4300 block of North Pecos Street, according to police. Investigators quickly labeled the case an active investigation as they started working to pin down who pulled the trigger.
The Denver Police Department announced the incident in an alert on X, saying one victim had been taken to a hospital and that detectives were “working to develop suspect information,” per the Denver Police Department. For non-emergency police services, the department lists (720) 913-2000 as its main contact line.
Limited Details So Far
Beyond the brief social media alert, officials have shared few specifics about what led up to the shooting or whether they are tracking any suspects. Detectives are still processing the scene and collecting evidence, so the story is very much in motion.
The case lands on top of a recent run of gunfire calls around the city, including a mid-June shooting on South Tamarac Drive that rattled a usually quiet stretch, as Hoodline reported in coverage of gunfire on South Tamarac Drive.
How To Share Tips
Police are asking anyone who saw what happened or who has video or photos to reach out to investigators. Call 911 to report an emergency, or use the Denver non-emergency line at (720) 913-2000 for general information or to provide non-urgent details.
Those who would rather stay anonymous can submit tips to Crime Stoppers at (720) 913-7867, in line with the Denver District Attorney’s guidance on reporting crimes, according to the Denver District Attorney.
What To Expect Next
The Denver Police Department has said it will share new information in the same X thread as detectives move the case forward. Members of the media can direct questions to the department’s press office at (720) 663-8203, which is listed on the agency’s official site, and the public is urged to rely on official channels for confirmed updates, per the Denver Police Department website.
