The company offers fenced, well-lit, off-site parking for the Denver International Airport, in addition to a shuttle. An employee of the business called in to report a suspicious person at the location. When officers arrived on scene, the suspect became combative. Chamberlain said the officer used de-escalation techniques and less-lethal methods to stop the suspect, which Chamberlain said was likely a Taser. Eventually, the officer was drug to the ground by the suspect, and some of his equipment was torn off in the process, according to the police chief. 'Continued to verbalize with him, and sometime during that contact and that verbalization, an officer-involved shooting occurred,' Chamberlain said. 'The suspect went down.' Chamberlain said that the officer needed aid, and the suspect needed life-saving efforts. However, while at the hospital, the suspect died. As of 7 p.m., all eastbound lanes of 56th Avenue were closed at Himalaya for the investigation. Maxwell or 60th are alternative routes, but police requested that motorists remain respectful of the neighborhoods. The 17th Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team will be investigating the officer-involved shooting. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
