Denver police officers are still searching for the suspect who injured 5 people during a shooting in Lower Downtown on Saturday night.

In a Monday update, police were able to release a photo of the suspect and release more details on her actions. Police say the female suspect was denied entry to Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row, in the 1900 block of Blake Street. It is unclear why she was denied entry.

While the suspect initially walked away from the scene, she returned shortly after to talk with security staff. As she walked away again, she took out a gun and fired in the direction of the the bar. The five victims, who are expected to live, were not the intended targets of the suspect, according to DPD.

Denver police are offering a reward for any information that leads to the arrest of the suspect. Photos of the suspect from surveillance footage were released Monday.

Anyone who has information about or witnessed the shooting is asked to contact Metro Denver Crime Stoppers  at 720-913-7867.
