Shoppers leaving the Walgreens pharmacy at 1111 S Colorado Blvd faced a tense scene last Friday evening when a robbery was reported inside the store.
Denver Police Department officers responded to the incident at Store #03190 around 6:00 p.m. on January 10. While the specific details of the confrontation remain under investigation, authorities confirmed one individual was identified as a victim during the event.
The pharmacy, a fixture in the Cory Merrill neighborhood, sits along a major arterial that sees heavy traffic throughout the day and night. The location falls within Police District 3, which covers a broad swath of south Denver. Robberies at retail locations, particularly pharmacies, often draw immediate scrutiny from both local residents and law enforcement due to the high volume of foot traffic and the potential for dangerous confrontations.
Authorities have not released the name of the victim or details regarding the suspect's description or method of entry. The investigation is ongoing as officers work to piece together the timeline of the evening's events.
Residents with information about the incident are urged to contact Denver Police. For emergencies, dial 911 immediately. For non-emergency reports or to provide tips, call the Denver Police Department's non-emergency line or report the incident online through the city's portal.
