A celebration in a Denver parking lot on January 3, 2026, ended in gunfire that killed 16-year-old William Rodriguez Salas. The gathering, near South Galena Street and East Hampden Avenue, had drawn a large crowd after news of the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. An argument within the group escalated and someone fired into the crowd, striking Salas and three adults.

Salas was placed in a private vehicle and taken toward medical help but died of his wounds near South Havana Street and East Iliff Avenue. Of the three adult victims, a 26-year-old man later died on January 7; the other two, ages 29 and 33, were hospitalized and their conditions have not been released. The Denver Police Department has not announced any arrests and is asking the public for photos or video that could identify the shooter or shooters.

Does anyone who attended or has footage from that parking lot gathering have information that could help investigators identify who fired into the crowd?
