A man was fatally shot in Mar Lee and the suspect died in a car chase in the southern part of Denver.
According to a statement from the Denver Police Department, a tragic incident took place on Sunday in south Denver resulting in the death of two individuals. It all started when officers were called to a shooting at West Arkansas Avenue and South Knox Court in the Mar Lee neighborhood. The victim, a man, sadly did not survive and was pronounced dead at the scene.

As the investigation continued, more details emerged about the events leading up to the shooting. It was reported that the suspect fled the scene in a vehicle, prompting a car chase by the police. The pursuit ended in the Cherry Hills neighborhood at South University Boulevard and Cherry Hills Farm Drive, where the suspect crashed into another vehicle not once, but twice. Thankfully, no one in the other vehicle sustained any injuries.

Police officials have confirmed that the suspect, who was the only occupant in the car, took his own life as a result of the crash. The three individuals in the other vehicle were lucky to escape unharmed. This tragic incident is still under investigation and more information may be released as it becomes available.

Sadly, this is not the only recent incident involving violence in the Denver area. Just last week, a 28-year-old man was found dead from a gunshot wound in an alley in the East Colfax neighborhood. And in another incident, a man was arrested for suspicion of murder in an overnight shooting at Crown Hill Cemetery. The Denver Police Department is also currently investigating the death of a woman in City Park West as a homicide.

In a separate, unrelated case, a former MMA fighter and Aurora community activist has been charged with murder in an alleged revenge killing. And in yet another disturbing incident, an Adams County man has been charged with murder after running over a pedestrian following a fight.

It is heartbreaking to see such senseless acts of violence in our community. Our thoughts go out to the families and loved ones of the victims in these tragic events. As the investigation into this latest incident continues, we urge everyone to remain vigilant and to report any suspicious or concerning behavior. As always, we will keep you updated as more information becomes available. Stay safe.
