Denver celebrated several festivities after hosting the 2021 Baseball All-Star Game. Almost 50,000 people came to Coors Field, making it an unforgettable moment for Denver. Game goers began entering the stadium around 3pm and left the site before 10pm. The presence of municipal police and members of the National Guard on duty prevented any sort of disturbance.

One of the busiest areas in downtown Denver was McGregor Square where several hundred people gathered to watch the game from a giant screen. This atmosphere of peace and security contrasted with the uncertainty caused by the arrest of four people who were staying at The Maven Hotel near the Rockies stadium.

Four Arrests

An investigation was opened for these individuals for illegal possession of 16 long weapons, bulletproof vests, and more than a thousand bullets in ammunition. The detainees are Richard Platt (42); Gabriel Rodríguez (48); Ricardo Rodríguez (44); and Kanoelehua Serikawa (43). Following the arrests, city authorities along with federal and Colorado law enforcement agencies initiated a high-alert plan to prevent domestic terrorism.
