A midday shooting in Denver’s East Colfax left one man dead and five others wounded on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. Around 2 p.m. in the 1400 block of Verbena Street, suspects who arrived in a vehicle reportedly exited, fired multiple rounds from handguns into a group that included four men and two women, then fled. Allen Dawkins, 31, was later identified by the Denver Office of the Medical Examiner as the lone fatality from a gunshot wound; the five other victims were expected to survive.

Investigators say the suspects abandoned their initial vehicle near 12th Avenue and Yosemite Street, switched to a black Ford Explorer, and that second vehicle was located by law enforcement hours after the shooting in the 3900 block of Colorado Boulevard. Authorities continued to search for the people responsible and appealed to the public for information.

If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Allen Dawkins, please share what you know with Denver police.
