Denver prosecutors charged Tyler Hazell has been charged with 15 counts, including attempted murder and bias-motivated crime, for allegedly intentionally driving into several vehicles and a pedestrian.
Denver District Attorney Beth McCann announced the charges Wednesday. Six victims, including two Denver police officers, were involved in the series of hit-and-runs.
Hazell, 23, is charged with attempted first-degree murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault, menacing, criminal mischief and two counts of bias-motivated crime, prosecutors said.
McCann alleged Hazell targeted a pedestrian based on sexual orientation, prompting the bias-motivated charge.
According to the arrest affidavit, the incident began at 8:30 a.m. on Jan. 30 when Hazell got into a fight with workers at the Burger King at 1010 W. Colfax Ave. Police were called, but Hazell fled the scene before officers arrived.
