DENVER – Denver police say a man was shot and killed near an Orthodox Jewish academy during a crime spree that involved at least two carjackings and another shooting that critically injured a person.

Police first responded to a carjacking at 10:50 p.m. on a busy city boulevard several miles east of downtown. No one was injured. About 10 minutes later, a person was critically wounded in a shooting and carjacking several blocks to the west.
An adult male was shot and killed near Yeshiva Toras Chaim, an Orthodox Jewish academy, west of downtown at 11:30 p.m.
The victims’ identities weren’t immediately released.
Denver police say they are looking for a 2018 maroon Honda CRV, a 2020 dark blue Toyota Camry sedan and a 1998 black Toyota RAV 4 SUV that was stolen in suburban Lakewood.
