Gunfire broke out Monday afternoon at the Maverik convenience store and fuel station on South Parker Road, drawing a rapid response from Denver police.
Officers arrived at the scene near the intersection of South Parker Road and East Alameda Avenue around 4:46 p.m. to find one person requiring assistance. While emergency crews attended to the individual, the investigation remains active, and police have not yet released a final outcome or the identity of the victim.
The incident occurred at 3253 S Parker Rd (ZIP 80231), a location that opened as a Maverik site in April 2024. The store sits within the Kennedy neighborhood, a growing corridor in District 3 known for its mix of residential development and commercial strip centers. This specific address has seen increased traffic since its spring opening, making the sudden violence particularly jarring for regular customers and nearby residents.
