  • Driver arrested in deadly Denver hit-and-run was going 100 mph on Kalamath, affidavit says

    [ad_1]

    A Colorado man is facing a felony charge after police say he struck and killed a pedestrian in Denver’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, according to court records.

    Alejandro Sifuentes, 29, was arrested Jan. 7, five days after Denver police say he hit 19-year-old Angelo Simpson while Simpson was crossing North Kalamath Street near West 11th Avenue on the evening of Jan. 2.

    Sifuentes was initially arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident involving death, both felonies, according to an arrest affidavit.

    Court records on Thursday showed he is charged with one felony count of leaving the scene of an accident involving death.

    Witnesses told police a gray Honda SUV was speeding at 100 mph when it hit Simpson as he was crossing the street in a crosswalk, according to an affidavit.

    Investigators found the Honda with front-end and windshield damage parked in front of a Lakewood home, and tipsters later told police that Sifuentes talked about hitting someone while he was driving too fast to stop.

    Sifuentes also told people he went to a friend’s house, cleaned blood off the vehicle and put a cover over it, then got rid of his phone and bought a new one “so he could not be followed,” according to the affidavit.

    Officers were dispatched to the 300 block of Euclid Avenue at about 2 p.m. Saturday after the masked suspect displayed a firearm and fled with money from the cash register, according to the San Diego Police Department.

    No injuries were reported and the scene was active and ongoing, with multiple officers in the area searching for the suspect, police said.

  • Denver brewery closed, seized due to unpaid taxes

    [ad_1]

    A Denver brewery known as a hub for the Latino community closed suddenly this week after city officials seized the property’s assets due to unpaid back taxes.

    Raíces Brewing Co. in Lincoln Park owed $98,703 in sales and personal property taxes, according to a distraint warrant issued by the city. The business closed on Wednesday when the warrant was issued.

    Brewery CEO José Beteta was not immediately available to comment on the circumstances, but a detailed goodbye note on Raíces’ website states the company had been working with the city for about a year to establish a payment plan for the taxes. The company blamed “a series of unexpected charges” issued by the city that it said are related to what’s called a business personal property tax. That’s essentially a tax on whatever assets a business owns.

    The note alleged that Raices had “never received prior billing notices” and that all invoices dating back to 2019 “arrived together in 2024, already including years of interest and penalties — despite our lack of prior information.”

    However, city spokesperson Laura Swartz said in a statement that the personal property taxes owed only amounted to $10,765, or about 10% of the business’s total outstanding balance. Raices owed nearly $69,000 in sales tax and about $30,000 for penalties and interest, she said.

    “It’s unfortunate that this situation has gotten to this point. We want Denver’s businesses to succeed and that means offering the best customer service we can to them,” Swartz said. “Before issuing a warrant, we attempt to reach the business by phone, mail, email, and in person to both collect the sales tax and ensure they can continue to operate. As Raices has noted, the city has attempted to work with them for years, including on a payment plan that was not fulfilled.”

  • La Alma Lincoln Park residents weigh new Broncos stadium at Burnham Yard: ‘It’s going to change everything’

    [ad_1]

    Two schools of thought flitter through the streets just behind the Denver Broncos’ planned future home, separated by just one block but standing an entire world apart.

    On a sunny Tuesday morning, 35-year-old Rita Guerrero stepped out from her door on North Mariposa Avenue, lively pup Olive barely contained by her leash. Guerrero bought her home in the La Alma Lincoln Park neighborhood five years ago, and smiled when she thinks of the wealth of possibilities that now exist a quarter mile away at the defunct Burnham Yard.

    The Broncos just announced their plans to construct a new stadium in her backyard, and it could mean a livelier neighborhood. And exciting features for families. And increased property values.

    “This is very exciting,” Guerrero beamed. “I’m very happy. It’ll be great for the team, great for the neighborhood. I really see that there’s, probably — I mean, there really can only be upside.”

    Broncos name Burnham Yard preferred site for new stadium development

    On a cloudy Tuesday afternoon, a few hundred feet away, 46-year-old Nicole Jones and 51-year-old Desiree Maestas crossed onto North Lipan Street, discussing the change to come. Jones has lived all her life a few houses up the block, and frowned when she thinks of the wealth of possibilities that now exist with the Broncos’ professed plan to develop at Burnham Yard.

    It could mean more traffic. And more construction. And increased property values.

    “I think it’s going to change everything,” Jones said. “Because everything’s going to go up. Especially in this neighborhood, everything’s going to go up. And a lot of us ain’t even going to be able to afford to live here anymore. Because the stadium is going to be right in our neighborhood. Right in our backyard.”

    “So, yeah,” she repeated, somber. “We’re not going to be able to afford to live here no more.”

    Residents of La Alma Lincoln Park who spoke to The Denver Post on Tuesday were split on the complicated reality that now awaits, after the Broncos officially announced that they’ve zeroed in on Burnham Yard as the planned site of a privately-financed mixed-use stadium district.

    Some residents lamented the change that continues to rattle the historic Denver neighborhood, one that has already experienced generations of displacement. Some residents championed the city’s efforts to keep the team local: they are the Denver Broncos, 39-year-old Barbara Ott emphasized from her porch, not the Lone Tree Broncos.

    The general median is a sort of cautious optimism, as community leader Simon Tafoya put it.
