Tuesday, May 7 marks five years since the shooting at STEM School Highlands Ranch that killed senior Kendrick Castillo. Eight other students were hurt in the shooting. At the school on Tuesday, students participated in "STEM-Shares" an event that is designed as a way to thank all those who helped the school, including preparing some care packages.  The Douglas County Sheriff's Office posted a tribute to Kendrick on social media, "As we pause to reflect on the fifth anniversary of the tragic events at STEM School Highlands Ranch, we carry with us the memory of Kendrick Castillo, a hero whose selfless actions saved countless lives. His courage, along with the courage of all the other heroes that emerged that day, continues to echo through our community, reminding us of the strength and resilience that unite us in the face of adversity," said Sheriff Darren Weekly. #STEMStrong #Heroes #HonorServiceValor  Castillo, 18, died when he rushed one of the gunmen who attacked that school in 2019. Two classmates have since been sentenced to life in prison.

The graffiti at Lake Pueblo State Park will be cleaned up. Boaters started noticing the vandalism on a specific area of the rocks at the lake last summer. Removing the graffiti from the rocks requires Colorado Parks and Wildlife to seek help from other companies to prevent chemicals from getting into the water. The area is set to be cleaned in the near future. "A lot of us have grown up coming to state parks throughout Colorado and  Lake Pueblo specifically. This place kind of holds a special place in  our heart. We show up here, we work every day. We don't like to see  damage done so we take it just as seriously as everyone else," Daryl Seder, a senior ranger for Lake Pueblo, told CBS affiliate KKTV in Colorado Springs. Lake Pueblo State Park  is a state park located in Pueblo County that includes 60 miles of shoreline and 10,000 acres of land. It's located about a two-hour drive from Denver.

There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

As food costs have risen and inflation takes hold, some Floridians have stopped eating out as much, and, as a result, I've written about several Florida restaurants that have either struggled, allegedly gotten behind on rent, or gone out of business as a result.

Since the pandemic, downtown Denver has been slower to recover than other cities of similar size. Because of this, Denver Mayor Mike Johnston introduced a plan on Thursday to revitalize the downtown area. He's calling it "Vibrant Denver" which includes an overhaul and expansion of the current Downtown Development Authority which is designed to free up a revenue stream. Johnston believes expanding the use of Denver's DDA can make more than $500 million available over the next decade for investment within the proposed expansion area downtown. "We know we can't have a thriving Denver without a thriving downtown. We know we can't...

The Western Conference Semifinals is all tied up after four games. That's a sentence most basketball fans probably wouldn't have expected to be reading after the thrashing the Denver Nuggets got on their home court in Game 2."Game 2 definitely woke us up," said Denver point guard Jamal Murray of the 106-80 loss to Minnesota. "We realized we can't hold ourselves back." Murray and the Nuggets definitely weren't holding themselves back in Game 4. After bouncing back in Game 3 following two home losses, the defending champions knew they would have to play exceptionally Sunday to avoid a 3-1 hole...

There's a new approach to how the city of Denver will handle low-level traffic violations. Cities like Los Angeles and Philadelphia have told their police officers to stop pulling drivers over for low-level traffic infractions. A similar approach is now taking place in Denver, this time under a new police policy. The stops will not happen in the Mile High City regularly now, unless there's a real threat to safety. Denver's policy was approved on May 1 and it comes after the city council suggested the idea to Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas a year ago. It is based on...
