Six violent crimes hit a concentrated area of Capitol Hill and the Colfax corridor in just 22 days.
The surge of felony and aggravated assaults creates a safety concern for residents and commuters navigating the 80203 zip code, where five of the six incidents happened within an 11-day window.
The violence began on January 20 with an aggravated assault at 629 E Colfax Ave, followed by another on January 27 at 30 S Grant St. The situation intensified on January 28 with an assault at 7840 E Colfax Ave, followed by a weapon-related felony on January 29 at 1090 N Ogden St in Capitol Hill.
Two more incidents closed out the streak: an aggravated assault at E Colfax Ave and N Lincoln St on January 31, and a final weapon-related felony at E 16th Ave and N Willow St on February 10.
The data shows a tight cluster of danger, with three incidents occurring directly on East Colfax Avenue and three others spreading through Capitol Hill and the southern edge of Five Points. This density of reports deviates from typical monthly averages for the district.
