Lakewood police want to alert the community about an unaccounted-for sexually violent predator.

Nick Medina, 38, was released from prison last month and has been missing from his registered address since the beginning of July, said Steve Davis, Lakewood police spokesman.

“We’ve established he has no intention of coming back,” Davis said.

Medina was convicted of sexual assault on a child.

“We want to get him off the streets,” Davis said.

Medina told authorities he would be residing at 5601 W. Colfax Ave., but a routine check by police showed Medina had moved without notice.

Medina is known to be affiliated with at least two “violent gangs,” police said.

There are currently eight registered sexually violent predators residing in Lakewood, according to Colorado Bureau of Investigation data.

Two of those eight, however, are noted for having a history of failing to register, data show.

Currently there are two warrants for Medina’s arrest, police said.

Anyone with information on Medina’s whereabouts is asked to call Lakewood police at 303-987- 7111.

Medina is considered to be dangerous and the public should not attempt to contact him, police said.
