LAKEWOOD, Colo. – Police are seeking the public’s help searching for two suspects that allegedly assaulted a person and later attempted to carjack another victim last month.
Lakewood police issued a crime alert with photos of both suspects.
According to police, on September 20 at around 10:34 p.m., the two male suspects assaulted the first victim, threatening him with a gun at a convenience store in the 3600 block of Wadsworth Blvd.
“The suspects claimed to be “Crips” and from “Crenshaw” and assaulted the victim because he was wearing a red Chicago Bulls jersey,” according to a Metro Crime Stoppers release.
