Denver Man Arrested After LoDo Shooting Injures Four

Denver police have arrested 25-year-old Carlos Lujan in connection with a May 4 shooting near 19th and Market streets that left four people injured. The incident began as a physical altercation between two groups, which escalated into gunfire; three victims were found at the scene and a fourth self-transported to the hospital, with all expected to survive. Investigators used witness accounts, surveillance and HALO camera footage, and the Flock automated license plate reader system to identify Lujan and link him to the vehicle seen fleeing the scene. Lujan was arrested on May 9 and is being held on four counts of attempted first-degree murder, with a $100,000 cash-only bond. The case is part of a broader concern about crime in Denver's Lower Downtown (LoDo) area, prompting resident petitions for increased safety. The Denver District Attorney’s Office will determine the official charges as the investigation continues.
