After the robbery, Ronkanen, who is the founder of Hecho en Westwood, was so upset that she decided to close her store temporarily,But another event, the Saigon Azteca Night Market on Aug. 10, which brought together the Latino and Vietnamese communities in Westwood, has given her some forward momentum, enough so that she hopes to reopen soon.

Folks walk past and admire a 1981 Cadillac Fleetwood owned Made Man Car Club president Jason Maestas at the Saigon Azteca night Market in Denver Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024. Ronkanen fears the burglars knew her schedule down to the minute, and that the cash box inside Cultura would be unguarded. The night before Saigon Azteca, another business adjacent to the site, Nevería Bule Bule ice cream shop, had its front window broken out, although the security system drove the would-be burglars away before they could do anything else, Ronkanen said. That made DPD’s presence at the Aug. 10 event more important, Luong added.
