Diamonds in the rough are rare, but so is a quiet morning at the corner of E Andrews Dr and N Chambers Rd in Montbello. That peace shattered at 10:19 a.m. on January 17, 2026, when Denver Police responded to a report of a felony involving a weapon.
Officers arrived to find two individuals listed as victims. While the identities of those involved remain confidential, the nature of the incident has been classified as an aggravated assault, one of the eight primary offenses tracked by the Denver Police Department under Uniform Crime Reporting standards.
This filing stands out against a backdrop of improving safety metrics for the neighborhood. Data indicates that Montbello saw a significant drop in violent crime last year, with monthly averages falling from 16.3 incidents in 2024 to just 9.0 in 2025. The incident at 80238 represents a sharp deviation from that downward trend.
The case falls under the jurisdiction of Denver Police District 5. As investigations continue, no further details regarding the suspects or the specific circumstances leading to the confrontation have been released to the public.
