On May 22, a woman attempting to break up an armed scuffle outside the Fairfax Market at 2835 Fairfax was shot in the arm around 7 p.m. The Denver Police Department Gang Bureau, assisted by Detective Alan Breneman, handled the case with the support of District Two personnel. Three young men were arrested on charges related to the incident. Two of the young men were arrested and charged on four counts of attempted murder and the other young man was arrested for attempting to influence a public official.
Since the incident, District Two officers have been conducting foot patrols, extra vehicle patrols and bicycle patrols in the area, and are also engaged in addressing many quality of life issues in Northeast Park Hill. While the operation is ongoing, the District Two Narcotics Team under Sergeant Mark Fall and SCAT teams under Sergeants Marco Martinez and Chet Neal have already conducted some operations in the area.
