Breanna Canter was 30 when she was killed inside the Denver apartment she shared with her husband in the early morning hours of September 24, 2024. Neighbors and those who knew her described her as a loving mother and a beloved daughter. The couple’s young son was asleep in an adjacent room when the violence occurred.

Shortly after 1 a.m. Tyler Nelson, also 30, called 911 and told officers he had accidentally shot his wife. Police found Breanna on the main bedroom floor with a shotgun wound to her chin and upper chest; a Remington 870 was leaning against a nearby closet. Investigators reported inconsistencies in Nelson’s statements, changes in his account about whether the shotgun had been in a case, and physical evidence they said did not match his version of events. Nelson was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and first-degree assault.

Does anyone have information about Breanna’s life in Denver or saw activity around the 600 block of South Dayton Street that night?
