Here are the top four stories today in Lakewood:

1. The Littleton Police Department had previously stated that Stephen Poolson Jr. had crashed his motorcycle before he was fatally shot by the police. Recently released police cam footage shows that the police had driven into the motorcycle, forcing the crash. A Littleton Police Department spokesperson summarized this new information, "Based on this video it has come to light that the motorcycle did not in fact crash, but yes, in fact, was contacted by a patrol vehicle." (Centennial Citizen)
2. Seven suspects are being searched for in regards to a shooting outside of the Colorado Mills Mall. There are no known injuries in relation to the shooting. (Fox 31)
3. The Downtown Denver Partnership and Denver Economic Development and Opportunity are hoping another round of Popup Denver events will help fill the empty store fronts on 16th Street. Selected businesses will receive a $20,000 stipend and 6 months without base rent. (Fox 31)
4. Chick-fil-A is piloting a cauliflower-based chicken sandwich in Denver area locations. This development comes from a longtime trend of fast food exploring vegetarian options. (The Denver Post)
