On Sunday evening in south Denver, a road rage confrontation turned deadly. According to Sage Kelley of The Denver Gazette, police allege that 45-year-old Diego Ortega-Camero intentionally rammed his Honda Civic into a motorcycle carrying two riders at East Hampden Avenue and South Yosemite Street, pushing them into oncoming traffic. One rider died at the scene, the other suffered life-threatening injuries. The arrest affidavit details a volatile series of events beginning at Cherry Creek Reservoir, where a group of motorcyclists were reportedly “acting wild.” After an alleged gunshot was fired at Ortega-Camero’s car by one motorcyclist, surveillance footage captured him accelerating into three motorcycles stopped in traffic. Two bikers fled; Ortega-Camero ran from the scene on foot but was later arrested.

My Bottom Line
This is the kind of unfiltered evil that reminds us: humanity’s biggest threat is not left versus right, it is the darkness that infects hearts. This wasn’t “heat of the moment” bad judgment; it was the culmination of pride, rage, and the absolute absence of love for human life. The Bible warns that in the last days, lawlessness will increase, and the love of many will grow cold. We are watching that prophecy play out in the middle of our streets. Pray for the victims. Pray for peace. And never forget – our enemy isn’t flesh and blood, but the powers and principalities of evil that revel in every destroyed life.
