Police search for hit-and-run suspect, RiNo neighborhood fed up with constant crashes
DENVER (KDVR) — Denver police are still looking for the suspect in a hit-and-run near 26th Street and Larimer Street that happened a week ago. They said a motorcycle hit a person on a scooter, leaving them with serious injuries. Colorado Parks and Wildlife kills grey wolf in Pitkin County after attacks on livestock Jessica Regalado, who works in the neighborhood and was nearby on the night of the accident, is tired of it. 'Freaked everybody out again. Just another incident that keeps occurring in this area,' she said. Regalado has worked here for a few years, but said seeing crime scene tape and flashing lights never gets easier. 'It's just sad that it just keeps happening,' she said. According to the city of Denver's crash location map online, at least 10 similar incidents have happened in the 2600 block of Larimer since the start of 2024. This one involved a motorcycle, which is a common sight in the neighborhood. 'People just consistently being reckless in this area,' said Regalado. Recklessness, that was confirmed by Denver police, who said the driver was doing a wheelie at the time of the accident. Regalado believes it, having seen similar actions countless times. 'It kind of spooks our customers just because you have the engines roaring and then all the loud noises,' she said. While police still search for the suspect, Regalado plans to send a petition to the city asking for this block of Larimer to become pedestrian-only, similar to no-car areas like Larimer Square and 16th Street. Anything to keep the crime scenes from being a regular sight. 'We just want our neighborhood safe again,' said Regalado. Rockies on track for worst MLB season ever Denver police put out a Crime Stoppers bulletin today in hopes of finding the suspect, describing the motorcycle as an older, black model likely now with damage to the left side. There is up to a $2,000 reward for information. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Denver small business hoping for the return of stolen truck that is essential to their work
DENVER (KDVR) — A recently launched small business in Denver suffered a major setback on Memorial Day weekend when their truck, needed for work, was stolen from outside the owner's house. Brothers Tomas and Agustin Helou moved to Denver from Miami back in February with the dream of starting a business together. They found in their move that many people didn't know what to do with old, unwanted furniture. They decided to create a junk removal service, Shake That Junk. Bandimere is aiming to open a new drag strip in Weld County 'For the past two weeks, business has been growing little by little,' said Tomas. Their dream was slowly realized over the last month, when they began hauling away unwanted items in their Ford F-250. 'We just bought it maybe, like, a month ago when we registered the company,' said Tomas. After parking the truck on Lawrence Street Saturday night following a job, they woke up Sunday morning to find, this time, it was the truck itself that was hauled away.'It was the morning, we hadn't had our coffees yet, so we were really puzzled,' said Tomas. 'That was the first emotion, just very confused.' They hoped that it was just towed, but Denver Police told them they had no record of it. Inside the truck at the time were items they use at work. 'Some equipment. So, like, some brooms, some ratchet straps that we use to strap things down,' said Tomas. Some items from a previous job were also taken, plus a go-kart that was in the back of the truck. Helou said the truck is their livelihood. Residents take 'Save Belmar Park' fight to court after large trees were cut down nearby 'A bigger company wouldn't be hit as much by one vehicle missing. To us, it's our one and only vehicle,' said Tomas. 'How we pay for the lights to stay on and keep the business running and pay for our own expenses.' He hopes their business dreams can continue with the truck returned. 'I want to say lifesaving, but it would be business saving,' said Tomas. He says the truck has their company logo on it, but the magnets may have been removed. He asks that if you see the truck, you contact Denver Police with information.
