Police responded to a report of the incident at 7900 W Quincy Ave at 1:52 p.m. on December 30. Records indicate one victim was involved in the crime, though details regarding the method of the robbery or the value of stolen goods remain under investigation.
Officers arrived on the scene to secure the area and begin their inquiry. The location sits at the intersection of major arterial roads in southwest Denver, serving a high volume of daily traffic.

Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant when parking and moving through the lot, especially during peak shopping hours. The investigation is active, and authorities have not yet released the identity of the victim or any suspects.
Anyone with information about the robbery or who may have dashcam footage from the area is asked to contact the Denver Police Department. Non-emergency incidents should be reported by calling the DPD non-emergency line, while 911 should be dialed for active threats.
