ENGLEWOOD POLICE: On August 11, 2024, at approximately 11:00 p.m., Officers attempted to stop a red Jeep Grand Cherokee for a defective vehicle violation in the area of W. Dartmouth Ave. and S. Shoshone St. The preliminary investigation showed that the driver refused to stop and within a minute of the Officer turning on his emergency lights to initiate the stop, over a dozen shots were fired directly at the Officer from a high-powered weapon out of the passenger side window. Multiple bullets struck the front end, engine and windshield of the patrol vehicle, barely missing the Officer.
The Officer pursued the vehicle as it continued to flee through an industrial area and then into a neighborhood, where it crashed, becoming disabled and two suspects fled on foot. At that point, the patrol car involved was also disabled due to the amount of damage caused by the gunfire into the engine.
Multiple agencies responded to assist in the attempt to locate the suspects and numerous resources were deployed, including a bearcat, tactical team and a K-9 unit. Reverse 911/CodeRed alerts were also sent to affected neighbors. After a lengthy search, we were unable to locate the suspects and the CodeRed alerts were canceled.
A search of the suspect vehicle and surrounding area produced an AK 47 and numerous shell casings that were recovered from the scene of the shooting. Along with other evidence and after a tireless, multi-day investigation, our dedicated Officers and Detectives were able to identify both suspects. One suspect was arrested on August 12, 2024, and after additional investigation and surveillance, the second suspect was arrested on August 13, 2024. Both suspects are being charged with Criminal Attempt 1st Degree Murder on a Public Official.
Additional and formal charges will be determined and filed by the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office. Due to their status as juveniles, further information and their identities will not be disclosed. Any additional questions regarding the case should be addressed with the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
