Denver Police Department officers responded to the scene at 4:18 p.m. on October 26, 2025, following a report that shots had been fired directly into a vehicle with people inside. The incident occurred in the Washington Virginia Vale neighborhood, near the intersection of Leetsdale and Quebec streets.
