Denver Police said they are investigating a report of a stabbing in the area of North Broadway and West Ellsworth Avenue, where one victim was located and transported to the hospital. Investigators were working early Monday to develop suspect information, with no arrest or suspect description released as of the latest update.
The department shared the alert on X, writing, “ALERT: #DPD is investigating a report of a stabbing in the area of N Broadway & W Ellsworth Ave. One victim was located and transported to the hospital. Investigators are working to develop suspect information,” according to the Denver Police Dept.
Police cautioned that the details they released could shift as the investigation continues. The department's alert noted that “the information in this post is subject to change based on investigative findings” and said updates would be posted to the same thread when they become available.
No Suspect Details Released Yet
As of the latest post, investigators had not released a description of a suspect, a motive, or any information about an arrest. The department's statement made clear that developing suspect information remains an active part of the investigation, and no further specifics had been made public.
A Familiar Intersection for This Kind of Call
This is not the first time the Broadway and Ellsworth area has been the scene of a stabbing. Back on March 15, 2014, Denver Police investigated a stabbing at that same corner, according to The Denver Post. In that earlier case, one injured person was transported to the hospital and police took one person into custody, with the victim reported to be in critical condition at the time.
It remains unclear whether Monday's reported stabbing shares any connection to the 2014 case beyond the shared location, and nothing in the current alert suggests the two incidents are related. Denver Police have not released additional information tying the two events together.
What Comes Next
For now, the picture remains incomplete. Police have confirmed only that one victim was located and taken to the hospital and that investigators are still working to identify who may have been responsible. Anyone with updates is encouraged to watch the department's original alert thread, where the agency said further details would be posted as the investigation develops.
