A riot broke out two weeks before a fatal shooting.
last December. Cox can't help wondering if these actions and increasing issues at the Denver Skatepark, at the northern edge of the area the DPD identifies as the Union Station area, are connected.
During the summer of 2021, however,"things started deteriorating fast," Cox says. That Labor Day, he saw a non-resident slip into his building's parking garage; fearful that the man intended to swipe items from cars parked there, Cox called 911, where he sat on hold for thirty minutes. Finally, he decided to act on his own, but when he spoke to the man, who was digging through a dumpster at the time,"he immediately started swinging at me," Cox recalls.
The end of last year saw another unnerving incident: A heavily intoxicated man managed to get into Cox's secure complex and follow him to his apartment, where he seemed intent on staying. Cox escorted him out, but as they were taking the elevator down to the ground floor, the man muttered that he was going to kill him. Again, Cox called the police, and Denver officers searched the building but couldn't find the man.
At that point, Cox moved out of the mob and dialed 911."While I was on the phone with the dispatcher, three of these guys snuck up behind me and one of them sucker-punched me in the back of the head, causing my phone to go flying," he says. After defending himself, he was able to retrieve his phone, and he and the girlfriend took shelter in the security area of his building.
