The Denver Police Department says officers are still looking for two more men.

Police Chief Gerry Whitman and Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey announced the results late Friday afternoon.

The suspects are wanted for violent crimes, such as robbery and assault, committed during the past four months in lower downtown.

Police believe they are members of two different gangs.

"The primary focus was on white males," said Morrissey.

Police are still looking for 18-year-old Allen Ford and 26-year-old Torrence McCall as well as an unidentified juvenile. 

They also hope other victims come forward to help them solve a number of unreported robberies and assaults connected with this case. 

Those events include two incidents near a Taco Bell at 600 16th Street in July, an assault on Aug. 2 at Colfax and Broadway, a robbery on Aug. 9 at 17th & Market Streets, an assault at 16th and Market Streets on Aug. 16, and two assaults near the 7-Eleven store at 16th & Champa Streets on Aug. 23.
