On July 11, 2019, Denver police responded to a call of a robbery in progress at an apartment near Park Avenue West and Larimer Street.  Upon arrival, officers found a man with multiple stab wounds and a woman holding a dog that was covered in blood after being stabbed.  While being transported to Denver Health Medical Center, the male victim told police that that five men and one woman had stopped by his apartment to hang out.  When the man went to get some water, he and his dog were attacked by the defendants, however, the victim did not realize until later that he had been stabbed.  The dog was transported to an emergency care facility and survived his severe injuries.  While the woman victim had a knife held close to her face, she was physically unharmed and a second dog in the apartment suffered a small wound.
