CRIME NEWS
- ➤ Denver police are asking for help to locate 76-year-old Gary Holt, who went missing Saturday near Montbello Central Park around noon while wearing a black shirt and blue jeans—he has cognitive impairment. Anyone with information should call Denver Police Department at 720 913 2000. Denver7
- ➤ A Weld County jury awarded over $4 million in damages to a mom and her daughter who were attacked at a Longmont EconoLodge in 2023 after a hotel worker mistakenly handed a room key to Cody Czichos—who had been invited for dinner and later stabbed the daughter and assaulted the mother. Denver7
- ➤ Aurora police fatally shot an unidentified man in an off-site airport parking lot on Monday after the suspect charged an officer who had issued multiple commands and tried less lethal methods — the suspect died at a nearby hospital while the injured officer was placed on administrative leave and an investigation by APD and internal affairs began. Sentinel Colorado
ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ Denver rents are down overall, but one viewer reported a 10% increase in her lease renewal rate — property owners favor attracting new tenants over renewing existing leases. Colorado Apartment Association counsel Drew Hamrick said tenants might negotiate lower rates by referencing the deals offered online. Denver7
EDUCATION NEWS
- ➤ Last week, Colorado state lawmakers added a provision to the school funding bill that will deposit $233 million in income tax revenue into the Kids Matter Fund in 2026—money that can only be used for school operations; despite budget cuts, statewide education spending will increase to $10 billion next year, ensuring each school district receives at least as much funding as it did this year. Sentinel Colorado
GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ Denver’s Office of Emergency Management will test the emergency siren system at 11 a.m. tomorrow, and officials said the sirens will be used more often for warnings beyond tornado alerts—residents should seek shelter and check local media for instruction if they hear the sirens. Denver7
- ➤ On Monday, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that the lawsuit — brought by Boulder and Boulder County — against Suncor and Exxon can continue because state law claims were not blocked by federal law. The suit — filed in 2018 — alleges that the companies misled the public about the role of fossil fuels in climate change. Denver7
REAL ESTATE NEWS
- ➤ New data from the county assessor show that Denver office values have dropped 10 to 25 percent and over one-third of downtown office space is vacant — forcing many landlords to default on large mortgage loans.
